Can't link craigslist listings...
At least I haven't been able to lately. You're able to view it because you're signed into your account and originated the link. I have no idea why this is. Might be better off giving simple instructions. Search "x" in "y" craigslist. I love you.

Alright, never mind.
Just got it to work. My system settings. Crikey. Anyway as for the case goods, if you were to replace the existing hardware with original you'd have holes on either side of the hardware.

Yes, obviously...
Was just saying that'd be quite a task to take on. To pay someone to refinish that lot wouldn't be cheap. At the very least, you should go for the granny ottoman/stool.

I don't know...
Come to think of it, it could be hardware that's affixed at two points just he same as the current hardware. But that would mean it's EARLY. And it would also be something I've never seen before, which would be a good thing. The reason I balked at them originally is I've never seen a set of pulls other than the Thin Edge placed in multiple rows as these are.

I don't they are Nelsons. They mirror his work, but not as refined. A tad coarse if you ask me.

The quality legs here you rarely see in general in this metal and finish.Not all Nelson cases had picture "frame edges".The line had a bit of late 30s feel to me,I know its mid 40s.The extreme simplicty of the stool points more toward Nelson...This line had variants.Pics could be better.We need a Nelson expert,,,

They look as if the drawers are not encased in the wooden frame on the left and right sides. I am guessing this confirms a fake? Or was there a variation like this at some point in history?
