Came across 2 dressers with no marks/stickers that I'm having trouble identifying. I have a 6 drawer planner group to compare this pair to and there are many similarities.

1. Inside runners are identical to my McCobb.
2. Back of dresser screws match.
3. Back of dresser has a number 31 on the top left corner, same typeface as a 33 that is marked on my McCobb.
4. Dovetails in drawers are in back not in the front behind the door... matching my McCobb.

Differences are the feet look a bit clunkier on these two dressers and I have not been able to find any matches of the exact 12 drawer and tall boy styles. Obviously the pulls have been replaced with new, cheap pulls.

Any help would be appreciated.

Winchendon produced for both Mccobb and Baughman.
I always wondered how they felt about the confusing similarities in those collections.

That dresser you posted looks very similar - I'm wondering now if it's planner or winchester. Upon further inspection, the tall dresser is marked 51 on the top left corner of the back and the long dresser is marked 31. Each drawer is then marked 31-1, 31-2, etc. on the bottom front of each drawer to mark it's position. I checked this against the McCobb Planner Group dresser that I own, and the numbering system is the same. Additionally, the construction under the cabinets are identical. Finally, the tall dresser has old adhesive in the top left drawer where the sticker used to be and it's the same length as a planner group sticker.
I'm thinking it must be McCobb.
