<p>[QUOTE="Deux Coeurs, post: 4289618, member: 13453"]I just purchased this dresser at auction (I'm in the midwest) and assume it's Sheraton style due to my research. Its measurements are 44.5" H x 41.5" W x 19" D. It obviously doesn't have the original hardware and most of the locks have been removed (the top two middle drawers had locks as well). Does anyone have any guesses as far as age? Am I correct in my Sheraton assumption? What kind of wood is it? If you look closely you can see that the first two long rectangular drawers would have had wide handles (at some point) as should the center of the bottom drawer. Or would the wide handles have been added at a later point then removed again (I removed one of the knobs if that helps)? I'd like to replace the current ones with something more akin to what the originals would have looked like. Also, why do people strip furniture of locks and knobs? For the metal?[ATTACH=full]345159[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]345158[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]345157[/ATTACH] Frustrating. </p><p>Thank you for any help![ATTACH=full]345142[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]345144[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]345145[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]345147[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]345152[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]345156[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
