Hi, all: I have 9 brass drawer handles from an old blond-wood dresser (1940s-style, modern). The large ones are 4.5"; the small are 1.5". I don't see the "perfect" category for them, and I need help in what to call them--Eames era? Modern blond furniture? I'm sure I'm overlooking the obvious.
And I've looked in Collectibles--no obvious category. And in Antiques. Nada.

You might try "Home & Garden, Bldg & Hardware, Cabinet & Cabinet Hardware, Handles Pulls, Brass Handles Pulls" or "Antiques, Architectural antiques, Door knobs/handles"
good luck

Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! Thanks, you guys. I think my brain must have been on hold this afternoon; I just didn't follow the sub-sub-sub categories far enough, or something. Appreciate your help. Still waiting for someone to tell me what keywords to use. . . . I'll do a little search now and see what pops up for me. ~Adele

Okay, I'm baaaack! Did a little research; the drawer handles are from a Heywood-Wakefield blond dresser (which tell apart and we've been chopping it up for our campfire! Hated it. Inherited along with the cabin we got from husband's aunt). 1930s began the blond lines, and then H-W graduated into other modern lines. Art deco is another key phrase I can use, of course.
When I was younger, I believe I could have gotten all this out of thin air in a matter of minutes. Now. . . sigh.

That's good, too, cherished. I'll consider it.
When I was in the 8th grade, my parents got a blond bedroom set for me, which I used until I got married out of college. I have no idea what they did with that, but I'm sure no one appreciated that someday people would WANT those ugly pieces, LOL.

Yup, doin' the happy dance. At least $10 for something my husband thought we should just throw away. Love it when that happens.
