After a days research I just learned that the “projection” is the line….OK a little slow here. Any info where I can find pictures of the Projection line like the Profile pix you have on the site here?
I love this site by the way!!

John Van Koert also designed a line called “Counterpoint” of which I have had several pieces over the years. Done in a natural teak finish with concave wood recesses showcasing the brass pointed teardrop pulls.

Had a dresser in this series in white lacquer with a reverse-decorated custom mirrored top that resembled flames in red and orange.

I purchased a Drexel 5 drawer dresser the other day. It has the stamp in the drawer and 7261-2-158 Projection stamped on the back. I can’t find any other description. Could you help!! Thanks,
Chris

Barbara, we don’t do valuations here. Also, any buying / selling needs to go onto the Forum: http://retrorenovation.com/forum/

Good luck.

I just took my mom’s old desk out of my duaghters room and was going to break it apart and throw it away. My husband stopped me because he loved the dove tailed drawers and said, “maybe it’s worth something?”

It is a K95 desk (if I can read the catalog number) and it has the original pulls and everything. Unfortunaltely a few years ago, I stripped the top of the desk. Nothing else though. Can I sell it? For how much?

Hi Pam: Wonderful website and such a good resource. Yes, I did contact Drexel via e-mail yesterday. I really want to get a good replacement leaf that will match the table. Now I’m scouting for a reliable furniture craftsman in Kansas City to tackle the task.

PS: My mother (at 74) has jumped in with great interest when I told her of my research. Now she’s checking the stamps on her sideboard and hutch. So much fun.

Hi Mary Alice, the first place I would send you to is: Drexel. Their customer service has been very helpful to others who asked vintage questions. Are you going to use table pads and a tablecloth? If so, I guess it wouldn’t matter what the leaves look like as long as they fit….Good luck, let us know how it turns out.

I have the Drexel Profile Drop Leaf dining table (K41). It was my mom’s original table, bought in NYC in Sept. 1955. I stupidly got rid of the leaves and now want to use the table. Any suggestions on how to get at least one replacement leaf?
