<p>[QUOTE="Barbara Kohler, post: 546873, member: 10215"]g</p><p><br /></p><p>great, thanks. I think I found a suitable reproduction online for around 8 bucks apiece. Since the replaced pulls are 3", your UK source doesn't have any (I'm assuming period Hepplewhite pulls were not made in 3"), so I don't mind reproductions. I also wanted to share something very exciting that I found this morning. For some reason, the back of drawer #3 (which is the same size as the missing drawer) is made of the same wood that the fronts are made of! The others are not, as you can see in this photo. I think if i can carefully separate it from the back and replace the back, I can use this piece as the front of the missing drawer! Hooray! I will make sure I do all my homework and have the correct knowledge before attempting this and the marquetry, but I am hopeful. I will keep you all informed on the progress and thank you immensely for your kindness and knowledge - I couldn't have gotten this far without you!!![ATTACH=full]169469[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
