One looks to be a #4650 5 drawer unit from the basic case series and one is a similar 5 drawer case with a door and shelf arrangement to the right side of the piece. Can you provide a reference number for this piece. Also both pieces are missing the black wooden feet. Are they available as a replacement part? I recently picked up two Herman miller vintage pieces.

They could possibly be able to recreate the pulls you need. Hope this helps.

Also I think you should offer it with the ebony finish bench with wood legs, or Birch finish bench with wood legs as was originally intended for this Basic Series. The wire legs on the bench were made for more of a table use, and very few were ever out in the market compared to the wood legs. If you are going for authentic, go all the way.

I'd appreciate any suggestions about where I could locate these pulls for purchase or who might be able to fabricate new ones. I have a few of the original (pot-metal?) pulls that are still intact, but I'll need about three dozen replacement pieces to make this otherwise beautiful vintage furniture whole again.
