OUT with the OLD -- IN with the...uhh...OLDER...??

Waitaminnit...that's not the way that phrase is supposed to go...?? <lol>

Pics 3 & 4 was in my bedroom until a few hours ago. What could be a nifty 1940's-ish (?) art-deco styled veneer pattern might or not still be lurking under the pale gray paintjob it had accumulated before I got it, I kinda think it might have been stripped off before the paint since there are no extra 'seams' visible now. Not ever a terribly high quality piece, it otherwise features its original bakelite (?) handles. Interesting wooden casters have been added underneath it, also a long time ago.

Pics 1 & 2 is now in my bedroom in its place. :-) Made of solid quartersawn oak, this appears to be a high quality piece which might even have hand-cut dovetail joints on its drawerfronts. Each drawer works on slender hardwood (?) runners, and it has all matching turned oak knobs including the two studs to hold a mirror between its arms. Each drawer is fitted with a lock featuring a brass bezel, I have keys and the few locks I've tried still operate. It has cast iron casters. What I *don't* have yet is the actual mirror...I'd sorta forgot it had one, so havta go further digging to see if I can unearth that somewhere...? <lol> Pic 2 is as it came outta the back of the truck from storage, pic 1 is after only one thorough rubdown with Old English, which it seems to have drunk in and responded to very nicely... :-) I have not noticed any markings whatsoever on it. More pics in a post (or two) of their own will be to come of this dresser, for now I need to finish vacuuming its drawers so I can get all my t-shirts and drawws offa the top of the bed again... <lol>
