I'm trying to refinish an old dresser, but ran into a stumbling block
when trying to take the hardware off the drawers. The knobs and
handles are not screwed on, but from the inside have some form of
connection I have not seen before. Can anyone tell me what this type
of mechanism is called and how I can remove it without destroying the
drawer front? Image is he

The picture doesn't show it great, but the inside of the piece is
hollow and threaded. What for, I can't say...
Thanks.
I have the same dilemma, French Provincial furniture with set in drawer pulls with no visable screws, yet the holes are threaded in the inside of the drawers. I haven't the guts to pull on it to loosen it up for fear of breaking the whole handle. Since I am a chalk painter; gonna have to figure a way to paint over them and then touch up with Rub-n-buff in a silver finish to get the look i'm going for. This was an alternative I was given from someone who had the same piece of furniture and hardware problems.
