Drawer pulls and knobs are original.
Find out about this dresser?

I have seen a lot of talk lately about waterfall furniture and got a bit curious about the one I purchased at a garage sale for $15 about 34 years ago, so I know it is pretty old. However, I can not find anything on the internet that even resembles the one I have. Question is: does anyone know anything about this one? (by the way I refinished mine when I got it home.)
Waterfall furniture was made from the 1920's into the 1940's. Sometimes there are manufacturing marks on the back or on the drawers. If you don't have any manufacturing marks it is hard to tell when this piece was actually made so you can only go with a guess. I do not think that the drawer pulls and knobs are original. Possibly they had been changed before you bought the piece and you were told they were original.
I agree with Gk, they do not look original. If you don't have any luck here, I would go on facebook and join a furniture group to ask for help in identification if you find no markings. There are a lot of very helpful people who love being furniture detectives.
Hi there
Did some hunting on the net and I found this one that matches yours - although the handles are defintely different.
Perhaps they can be of help in finding out a bit more info on yours for you??
