Hard(ware) to stomach

Our diningroom credenza is a beautiful old three-drawer dresser with vintage pull ring knobs. Unfortunately, two of those knobs are missing and while we've been making do with a ...ahem, screwdriver angled cleverly into the drill holes for the missing hardware to pull the bottom drawer out, it's about time I get going on replacing the missing knobs.

Not too crazy about the available pull ring knobs at Van Dykes (Bummer that! I love to shop there!), I finally ended up on Ebay. Browsing the listings of vintage hardware, I stumbled across one that I simply HAVE to share:

Raggedy Ann Pull Knobs

For all I know this is a once-in-a-lifetime find (for $20 plus shipping, and since it didn't sell, you have a second chance to snatch'em up!) and worth gobs of money, but frankly, these things creep me out. On a piece of furniture they would give me the heebeejeebees, and I might never again try to pull open a drawer ...

Don't believe me? I mean, look at them! Up close ...

Creepy ...

Not even a coat or two of ORB would make these better ...

    These are like something out of a nightmare I had once as a child while staying at a friends house... in a guest room filled with porcelain dolls. Always offered to sleep on the couch after that night.
