PIP: Bought a craigslist dresser....

byrne15

But I was wondering if you girls had any ideas of where to look for a drawer pull similar to the broken one in the picture.  The one that is missing is in the drawer, but I still have the issue of the broken pull.

Do you think I can find something similar?  Should I just replace them all?  The dresser is about 80 years old.

Here is the picture from the craigslist ad...

Try googling for antique knobs & pulls. That might bring something up. Otherwise, I'd just replace them all. They look like they're all single holes at least, so you can probably find something reasonably similar online or in-store to fit.

They are ring pulls. Not sure if you'll get an exact match, so you may want to replace them all anyway, but these look pretty close in style:

Here are some alternate styles too:

I would just replace them all.  EVen if you find similar ones, I think it will be near impossible to find an exact match.

I agree with replacing them all, or you can move the intact ones to the big drawers and get knobs for the top little drawers like I did for this dresser:

Try hitting up your local antique mall. Those places usually have a couple baskets of pulls, knobs, and what not for cheap. You might find a match.

If you want to find the exact one, most antiques of that era have a number stamped on the back of the drawer pulls (if you unscrew one and take it off). Then you can search eBay or antiques vendors using that number.

I have actually seen this at the antique mall and was about to suggest the same!
