<p>[QUOTE="Barbara Kohler, post: 547552, member: 10215"]Hi all, me again! I picked up what I thought was a nice easy restoration project - early 1900s Birdseye m[ATTACH=full]169538[/ATTACH] aple dresser that just really needs a good cleaning and top refinish. Anyway, today i tried to remove the hardware to clean it, and also because it is all loose and wobbly. The pulls on the bottom two drawers were no problem, but three of the four brass knobs in the top drawers are frozen - fused to the screws! Even my husband couldn't get the screws out. I wondered if this was a common problem with cast brass, and if there are any tips to get them to break free. I attached a picture of one of the knobs and one of the pulls. Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
