These pieces of drawer hardware seem to be made of glass with brass screws and the wreath was labeled 1930.  Any value here?

It's going to 28 high x 29 3/4 wide by 14 5/16th deep.  Usually I wouldn't ask this but is there any value in this piece?  I'm running out of room and it's got to go.

What are the dimensions of the piece?

Got another one need help on,  basically what is it and how old?  From the dove tailing on the sides it seems to be the newer style of dove tailing (post 1890) however what is interesting is the porcelain wheels on the bottom.

The two saws I had, one had paint splatters on it plus chips in the handles,
the other one was taped back together.  They were a mess

Here are some more pics however I'm unable to move it out to get to the back of it do to the holiday stuff around the house, maybe afterward.  Did find out the it has the "Pin and Coves" dovetails.  As for the stool I don't believe they are a set as the color of the wood is different... so any help with dating that would also be greatly appreciated.

Silly question but I assume the handle needs to be in pristine condition to have any value right?

Thanks for everybody's input, more pictures will be posted soon as the camera is currently out of service.
By chance did the vanities come with a stool?  I have an older looking stool that was in another room that I'm wondering if these two things went together?  I'll post pics of that too shortly.
Happy Holidays everybody,
Spence

Thanks guys for chiming in.  You are correct as this piece has been referred to as an Eastlake and not a Greatlake, my mistake.
Are there any tell tales signs that I could post pictures of that would give more clues to its origin?

Hi All,
Looking for some help trying to identify this piece of furniture.  I have here an item that was told to be a "Great Lakes" wash basin for houses prior to plumbing.  There are no visible manufacturing markings on the outside of it.  If this info helps at all - it does however have skeleton key style locks, and the wheels are made wood. By chance does anybody here recognize this piece of furniture?
Thanks
Spence
