[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 9777420, member: 5170"]I, too, have never heard of whale end shelves. I learned something new today. The pull is not Victorian, but rather a classically-inspired piece of the type found on, say, a Georgian or Sheraton Revival dresser of the early Twentieth Century. The flathead screws point to a date before 1940, as Phillips-head screws were on the ascendancy by then. I suspect that your charming shelf was made somewhere in this time period.[/QUOTE]
