I had no idea the Planner group included a vanity. I thought these evil little torture stations were out of favor by 1960? This is the first one I've seen that almost makes me wish I wasn't 6'4'. But only for a moment...

Now THAT is a beautiful piece of furniture...
Did he make a stool that came with it? I've been looking for a vanity for my wife for years, and that is it.

Any idea how many inches off the floor the center counter top is?
Again, nice piece.

Looks like other than McCobb
Looks like other than McCobb to me... here is why:
The wood appears to be mahogany, and maybe a veneer?
The pulls aren't quite the same shape as the common cone ones.
The bevels around the front edges aren't right.
I would be amazed if this was a Planner piece. I bet 20 its something else... any takers?

Its MCCOBB later planner group..very stylish...the streaky finish likely is a later addition...Mccobb Planner group really inspired "creative"input.

Research says
Research says many people copied or made similar furniture to McCobbs planner line. I think you could easily say its Brown Saltman, but who knows? I scour all the Planner info I can find. I have stacks of old home magazines, and many people made similar things to the Planner line.
There is someone other than McCobb that was putting out cabinets with those funky pegboard sliding doors. Ever see the adds for "The Country Workshop"
I say the wood grain looks to be something other than maple. That is a big indicator.

your right...
I looked at the pics on ebay far, more clear. I agree it very well may not be Mccobb, the fronts are not flat they have the picture frame molding.In fact most likely not...
