<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 85530, member: 37"]There were lots of variations to these over the years. I can't find one exactly like mine but it is clearly marked Simmons. It is possible that your label is missing, has been painted over, or it was made by someone else. The stuck drawer and split are problematic but should be able to be taken care of. You might remove the drawers just above and below the stuck one to see if you can figure out why it is stuck and get access to free it. The split can be repaired much like one would repair a car with fiberglass and/or Bondo. Do move it to a dryer part of the basement to preserve it from further damage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
