Drawerfront detail

The hardware was replaced twice. Most recent was a stamped plate registered in 1907: the pattern No. was on the back. The plate hid circles from a turned knob, fitted through a crudely rounded hole. Scratches inside the circles imply the earliest hardware was a knob on stem: someone reaching for the knob would scratch the surface with their nails. The original knobs were attached through roughly square chiseled holes less than half the diameter of the mounting hole seen here.
