<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 393512, member: 6444&quot;]I didn&#039;t say I expect them to be the same. But the OP picture has no apparent wear at all, which is what I am looking for and not seeing. The US piece has significant drawer slide wear, so that a 1/2&quot; or so piece of wood has been scarfed on. I see that a lot on 18th and even 19th century drawers that have gotten a lot of usage. There is nothing like that apparent on the base of the OP&#039;s which is where the wear would occur on that one. No apparent shrinkage either, which is also evident in the US piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>Always hard to tell from a single picture of a drawer, but I really don&#039;t see the wear I would expect for a drawer from an early 18th century piece. That can change with follow-up pics, but so far I&#039;m not seeing it. Drawer pull questions too (I&#039;d like to see the inside attachment).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
