What kind of dresser is this?

omg I have one exactly like it!! Got it in about 1981.

(just from the design of the drawer pulls)

On the inside of the drawer it says “Young Republic” Tell City Chair Co. Tell City, Indiana Solid Maple

Looking. . .so far can’t find a price. Will continue.

Ok, looked at yours again and it isn’t exactly like mine. Mine has a design doohickey between drawer 2 and 3, and has 2 small knobs on the top drawer in addition to one of the regular drawer pulls in the center.

Good call about looking in the drawer @smudges.

My parents were antique lovers. I learned a lot – like looking for dovetails to identify quality workmanship, among others.

According to this Facebook post they’re rare.
I also got a queen sleigh bed and a bedside table.

We paid $300 for all 3 pieces. I think we got a deal!

Hmmm…keep searching, you never know what treasures you may have. I’m not sure if they made queen-sized beds in the 50’s – just something to think about. Does it have the Bissman stamp?

Oh yeah! Definitely a deal!

Dang it, you got me re-hooked on searching for a number of items I have that I’ve wondered about over the years. LOL

Yes. A Bissman sticker in the first drawer.

I meant on the bed.

Here’s some info, but not much: https://community.ebay.com/t5/Archive-Mid-Century-Modern/research-on-Bissman-Furniture/td-p/1512429

I can see it for sale for €200 ($225).
I wouldn’t buy it myself though.

I love it. Do you have a link to your site @rebbel?

Bed was made in Vietnam.

Not sure, but I think it might be a wooden one.

You’re a dork, Raggy!

I’m amazed now at all the great furniture that can be had from Habitat for Humanity Restore, Goodwill and other thrift shops. I recently got an Ethan Allen piece for like $10 or 20, two Drexel Heritage end tables for $10 each, and a Monson coffee table, made in Maine, for $10. All solid wood, great workmanship, none trendy but they will outlive me.

Impressive, @jca2!
