<p>[QUOTE="Barbara Kohler, post: 546760, member: 10215"]Thanks, yes, that is definitely the plan. I was actually just looking for them online. I went and took one of the chippendale pulls off and surprise as you suspected, there is a fill hole under the backplates. The new pulls will have to be 3" centers but I am seeing some replicas online which is ok with me! I'm learning more each time I look it over. Today I noticed that the drawer I have in the bottom is marked "3" on the bottom of the drawer and inside the drawer front, so it is actually the bottom drawer that is missing. This might make it easier for me to hide my attempt at replacing the drawer front. Would you recommend I buy a piece of maple for the front? Is that what you think it is?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, is it possible to estimate age on the Chippendale pulls? They are solid brass. Just wondering.[ATTACH=full]169464[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]169465[/ATTACH]</p><p>Thanks again...(again).... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
