I purchased a Paul McCobb Planner Group three drawer dresser for $10!! I am currrently refinishing it as someone has painted it white. It did not come with original drawer pulls. Does anyone have any tips on how to replace the pulls to make the dresser worth as much as possible?

Just keep checking
ebay. I bought my brass cone shaped ones from someone who was switching his out for the ring pulls. I have one extra one left over if you find yourself short.

thanks. So does it really matter if I use ring pulls or cone pulls? I like the looks of the ring pulls more which one was original to the winchendon planner group dressers?

..
Rejuvenation Hardware sells some conical pulls that are similar to the Planner Group ones. I haven't seen them in person so I don't know if they're the right size or not. If you want the ring pulls you'll have to keep checking ebay.

If anyone has the really...
If anyone has the really early T shaped pulls... Let me know. I would like to know the real diameter of the main post and the T. I would also like to know the overall depth and width. I would purchase some if I could just find one or more.
By the way, the brass ones are really brass plated. The rings are the pretty ones, and I think there are two different inside diameters.
thanks

Paul McCobb drawer pulls
Riki,
Any chance you still have that cone drawer pull? I just bought a 8-drawer McCobb dresser and my refinisher lost a cone shaped pull. I could use one more.
Could you let me know if you still have it? Thanks. rpwarner@riverfrontloftsri.com
Thanks,
Ranne

Planner Drawer Pulls
The smooth cast aluminum Ring Pulls are from the original production run, the larger ones being from the earliest production runs and the smaller ones from a little bit later on
Then followed the T Pulls with a black enameled finish for a very brief time
And finally the Brass Golf pulls which were used for the longest period of time
Late production Golf Pulls were no longer solid brass having only a brass plating on them.
Towards the end the ring pulls were reintroduced but they were of vastly inferior quality as compared to the earlier ones, with visible milling lines on the pulls, but they are original nonetheless.

Hume Modern does replication. Not sure if this will help in your case but might be useful for others. Good luck.

Just obtained a number of pulls from company suggested earlier in thread and i have to say I'm very impressed. From door to door it took 6 days and the items are perfect.
Well done America.
