<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 3859296, member: 8363"]The reseller had two Macey lawyers' bookcases that were the exact height I was looking for. He sold me one that is currently in my garage awaiting some repair and restoration and the completion of a project to restore my back bedroom. I have found a source for the correct knobs: <a href="https://www.hardwaretree.com/products.php?cat=Bookcase+Hardware+Stacked+Barrister+Globe+Wernicke+and+Macey+and+Others" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.hardwaretree.com/products.php?cat=Bookcase+Hardware+Stacked+Barrister+Globe+Wernicke+and+Macey+and+Others" rel="nofollow">Stack Bookcase Hardware | hardwaretree.com</a></p><p><br /></p><p>What I looking to find out is the date it was made. According to this website: <a href="http://www.furniturecityhistory.org/company/3693/macey-fred-co-ltd" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.furniturecityhistory.org/company/3693/macey-fred-co-ltd" rel="nofollow">Macey Co., The | Furniture City History</a></p><p><br /></p><p>"Pieces produced before 1908 may carry the name “Fred Macey Furniture Co.” or simply “Macey” in an italic script, with the tail of the let “Y” underlining much of the word.
