Non-formal opinion poll

I am doing some restoration/fluff and buff on this chest. I'll have to make a few replacement drawers and fill in a few slats.
However, I'm not sure I like the current drawer pulls. The second pic shows a couple possible replacement choices. Just trying to get opinions on what everyone thinks might look good.

Glen, I would prefer the smaller pull.

If the choice is only between the 2 possible replacements, I am going against the masses, and choosing the larger. I think it has more of the time period look, and doesn't look to be a replacement.
If the choice includes the current pulls, I say keep them. They look like they belong, at the very least make the choice after your fluff and buff.

I like a smaller pull for that, but I'd pick something more like this, if you can find them:

I pick the original pulls if that is an option.

Glenn, that looks like a great knife storage chest. I hope that you can find or make replacements for the missing drawers. And better yet, matching replacement knobs!

Think the original pulls pair well with the heavy drawer fronts.

Don’t normally throw in my two cents. I like the original if you can do that

The originals are too big for those small drawers. I prefer the small brass ones.

I refinished a Jeweler's Cabinet a few years back and kept the original drawer pulls. I recommend you do the same on yours.
