<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 409816, member: 6444"]Much easier since you have the backplate and only need a new bail and pull. Start by measuring the distance between the two bails, center to center. These are standard sizes so once you know the size you can find a working replacement. From there it is a matter of matching style. How close a match you want to find is up to you; if you try hard enough you can find a very close replacement. Look on ebay, look at flea markets, etc.: here's one that is fairly close from a two minute look at ebay - spend more time and you'll find something closer: <a href="https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Antique-Brass-Shabby-Chic-French-Ornate-Victorian-Drawer-Bail-Pull-Handle-1800s/263857031442" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Antique-Brass-Shabby-Chic-French-Ornate-Victorian-Drawer-Bail-Pull-Handle-1800s/263857031442" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Antique-Brass-Shabby-Chic-French-Ornate-Victorian-Drawer-Bail-Pull-Handle-1800s/263857031442</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
