personally, i'd prefer it be darker - but the lines on this stuff?!  fantastic!  haha  i had bought some particle board bs at walmart before i craigslisted this set.  cancelled the wally order post-haste!  anyways, i'd like to find a bail pull to replace the missing one.  original would be great - but replica would also be okay.  here's a photo of the pull detail.  it's 4 1/2 inch from post center to center.  thanks guys.

I wonder what are the chances of finding an original replacement bail pull - the one that's missing from the nightstand?  Or even a replica would be fine.  Is there a name for this type of 'style?'  Thanks for the information!

I'd like to know if this is really "antique?"  I see it has solid wood, tongue/groove construction.  The only markings I can seem to find are 1692 stamped on the back of the nightstand, and 1602 stamped on the back of the long, short dresser.  There doesn't appear to be a stamp on the tall dresser.  The nightstand is missing hardware, as you can see from the photo.  I'd like to find an original replacement if possible, and also find out some history about the furniture.  Any help is appreciated.  Thank you.
