<p>[QUOTE="Chris76, post: 355799, member: 7343"]My Grandmother passed away a couple years ago and left behind alot of items. My Mom recently brought this home and has several questions about it. She said it was bought at an estate sale before she was born and she's 63 now. She wants to put it back together as close to original if possible and set it up it in her home. It's pretty rough looking, but any info on it as far as age and any hardware it possibly had on it would be greatly appreciated. Here are several pictures of it. I can post more if needed. Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is the front of the dresser. The original handles are missing, but parts of the original ones are on the right side of the middle and lower drawers. Each drawer has little diamond shaped locks.</p><p><img src="https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/30715425_1929920627050154_8177770516455620608_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=a17a992164b3333ef82345faab078006&oe=5B6730A7" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Side shot</p><p><img src="https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/30738195_1929920833716800_1153644871588773888_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=434ea2d925467b3286704d09d1080e5f&oe=5B5E11DA" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The back of it.
