Thank you.  I am in a small town and can usually only find the glass ones.  I ordered off Ebay and got the wrong one.  Hard to tell from pictures sometimes.  I thought maybe i could find from the maufacture if they were still around.... Thanks for your help.

Thank you guys so much for the help.  Unfortunatly I am still trying to figure out the maker.  We have decided to keep these pieces and need a little help on replacement parts.  I have tried to locate the door pulls, one is missing.  I have looked on line at pictures and found one I thought matched.  When i received it, it was not the same.  On the back of the ones from the piece it has a number embedded in it.  The drawer pulls say A4254, the door pieces say A???.  Cant find the one i took off at the moment ( will post that number later if needed.)  The drawer pulls and the door pulls look to be from the same maker. They look to me to be made from brass.  Thanks again!

Thanks again KC but i unfortunatly had no luck in finding anything.  I am still trying.  I do have one question that you might be able to help on.  The magnetic door latch in these two pieces says AJAX, patent pending.  I found another picture of an AJAX latch that showed pat no. 2990210 on it, but the AJAX was written two different ways.  I researched the patent number and it shows that the patent was issued to an AJAX HARDWARE MANUFACTURING COMPANY in 1961, in my further research i was also finding an AJAX MANUFACTURING COMPANY.  I was wondering if these were the same companies just a change in the name somewhere along the line?  I had never heard of them and dont know much about the other Hardware.  Any insite is greatly appreciated.  I am still learning so thanks for the patience.

Any idea on where the manufacture might have marked these pieces?  I have looked all over and can not seem to find it!  I have seen lots of pictures of chest with all drawers but none with doors!  Lots of information to look through!

Thank you guys for helping!  I am getting closer in identifying these pieces.  Still trying to figure out who made them.  They may not be antiques but by the time I figure out the history they may be lol.... We finally got in contact with a lady at an antique shop that is going to help, weather permitting!  I appreciate all of your feedback! Once again Thank you!

I went back and looked real closely at the dresser and there are screw holes where it looks like there was a mirror attatched at some point.  That has helped me a lot, still trying to find out the manufacture which was probably on the mirror at some point...... and of course we did not get that with the dresser.  Thank you for your help.  I am on my way to discovering more about these pieces. 

Thanks Again

About a year ago i posted on one of the pieces, I was told it looked like a American French Provincial Chiffonier.  So i have tried researching it to see if i could find any info on them and i can not seem to find anything on it.  I have finally gotten the second piece and taken pictures of it.  I was thinking this would be a buffett but once again i can not find anthing on it.  I have searched both pieces and could not find any markings or than what looks to be piece numbers that are written in chalk.  My mom was thinking it could have been a bedroom set after looking at some different piece on line.  I bought the highboy ( or that is what i call it ) and my mother purchased the lowboy at an estate sale about 3 years ago.  The son of the couple had no idea about the piece or when they were bought, or where they came from.  My mother is selling her piece and we would like to sell them together as a set.  Bu we have no idea what to call them or even a price to ask.  Since we live in a small town and no place here to help i am hoping someone can shed some more light on these pieces. 
Thank You
Jamie

Note the first two pics are of the highboy and the last two are of the lowboy.

Thank you very much.  I was unsure what it was exactly.  I was torn between a highboy and linen press.  I had not found any pictures of anything like it.  I will try to post the pictures of the buffet style that matches it too.  It is very beautiful too.  Thank you once again.

I purchased this piece along with a matching buffet style at a garage sale.  I originally was told it was a highboy and a lowboy.  The family did not know much about them.  I have researched and not been able to correctly identify this piece.  If anyone has any ideas Please let me know.  Thank You
