    IMG_18102021_113558_(480_x_640_pixel).jpg Redeemable for 10 soap certificates in 1905, this solid oak dresser was a neighborhood freebie, somewhat busted up inside, but all pieces intact, and responded well to glue and some strategic pounding. I cleaned the gunked-up handle pulls by soaking overnight, then scrubbing with steel wool. Thanks for looking.

    Nice! Those Larkin pieces fit well in smaller houses and apartments too, so it should resell easily if you're so inclined.

    Thanks all for your replies. What a fun place to share the joys of refurbishing these noble castaways.

    Noble indeed! Great job on the rehab from another who scans local streets for such pieces.
