That is a very unusual drawer side.

"For not sale" is not a native English speaker's phrase.

Where are you?

I

The drawer insert is odd as well almost like the drawers and the case were not made for each other but made to fit each other as an afterthought

Drawer pull

This is one very, very strange piece. I think you should look away from Scandinavia for the answer to who made it. I have no idea where to look though.

What makes you say that the Asian sticker is not the maker mark but just a child playing with stickers?

Maybe because one would expect only one sticker on the whole piece? But why a child would have these Asian stickers it puzzling...

Well. Unless I am mistaken, we have only seen one sticker here.

However:

- Yes, why US a child would have vintage Asian stickers?

- why a kid would put a sticker on the underside of a drawer??? I have 2 of them at home and they if they had stickers, they would put them right in front where they can see them not on a hidden place.

- On vintage ads, teak is usually associated with elephants.

For me, this sticker identify either the maker of the piece or the wood provider.

But I have no clue what is written on it... maybe it is just an ad for bananas :p

Would be curious to see the other stickers!

How about a clear closeup of the sticker so that the letters are identifiable? Danish furniture was copied in some Asian countries. I reupholstered the seats on some beautiful old teak dining chairs once that were custom made at the request of the original owners who were living in India at the time. To look at them you'd have assumed they were Danish but there were clues in the construction and the upholstery materials. (Plus the provenance was available, so it wasn't a mystery at all.)
