I'm trying to replace some pulls on a little vintage dresser I bought that came with damaged and broken pulls. I like them at lot of unfortunately they need to be replaced. First photo shows the actual pulls I'm trying to replace and second photo shows pulls that I also like, very minimal and clean looking.
I was wondering if there was any website that has good vintage MCM drawer pulls for sale that you guys know of? Any Etsy or eBay seller is ok too or even a contemporary company that makes this style of pulls.
Thanks!
Handles
Have a look at Lee Valley tools. They have a few retro looking knobs and handles, such as the 'Undercut' and 'Creased Bow' series.

Thanks guys!
Since i'm in the bay area, the salvation armies I go to always charges their dressers at least $100 and up and the shitty ones usually don't have nice looking pulls anyway but I guess I can keep checking, you never know. It's a bit difficult to find them cuz I have to find pulls that have a 4" distance from screw hole to screw hole and I always find nice ones I like with different distances.
Back in the day, we
used a lot of "staples" -- Stanley Wire pulls, much favored by architects. I'm sure someone still makes them, with 3" and 4" centers, at least.

Handles
I see quite a few 3 3/4" center modern style handles on the net and also on e-ay. You could fill the original holes with a suitable dowel (even a chopstick!) and re-drill new holes 1/8" to the middle on each side. You might get lucky and the mounting pad area might cover the repair.
4" is one of the most
common sizes. The Stanley Wire suggested above comes in several sizes, including 4 inch hole centers.
You want approx 102 mm for a metric pull . . .
