<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shepard363, post: 1732326, member: 14302&quot;]My wife and I have spent years enjoying the gift of antique chasing, one bestowed on us by our parents and grandparents, a love of the ‘old’.</p><p>Our home is a bastion of items inherited, gifted, purchased or found, things which, like many on this website, have enjoyed having. Luckily for us, we seem to have gifted this to our sons, a benefit as everything may actually move to their house when we’ve moved on.</p><p>As an introduction, we’ve a puzzle that we would like assistance and advice on.</p><p>We found a gentleman’s dresser with a hat box for $100 before Christmas, one we’d like to refinish for a grandson. While we believe we have an idea what it should be, we’re not confident to approach it without some research.</p><p>1)&nbsp; Looking at the pictures, the approximate build date timeframe would be useful.</p><p>2)&nbsp; The wooden pulls are obviously not original, but having difficulty in determining what brass would be appropriate.</p><p>3)&nbsp; The carving in the floor of the hatbox definitely was a surprise and no idea what this signifies.</p><p>Anyone have any input on these? Any help would be greatly appreciated.[ATTACH=full]237890[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]237891[/ATTACH][ATTACH]237890[/ATTACH][ATTACH]237891[/ATTACH][ATTACH]237890[/ATTACH][ATTACH]237891[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
