Hello! I was told you might be able to help us. About 22-25 years ago we purchased a chest of drawers, night stand and single bed by Young Hinkle furniture. The drawer pulls are set into the drawer fronts about 3/4 inch and the lip of the casing extends around the edges and 4 screws go through this and into the drawers. The pulls have broken off on 4 of the drawers. The color is antique brass. We would like to replace all so they would match. There are six, counting the 2 on the night stand. We could do with the 4 for the chest of drawers. The number on the left of the hardware is K B C - 2 and on the right, N 4 8 4 2. Thank you for your help.

  Try contacting Keeler Brass, a company in High Point, NC that sells replacement hardware. Keeler Brass Co., 1006 N. Main Street, High Point, NC 27262 (336)841-4220. You will need the numbers off the back of the hardware. If that fails you might try http://www.dlawlesshardware.com/index.html.

I have several Young Hinkle furniture pieces that need to have the antique brass drawer pulls replaced/or repaired. The numbers on the back of the hardware is KBC-2 on the left and N4842 on the upper right.

I have the broken handles if anyone knows where they might be repaired. If not, please direct me to where I might purchase replacement drawer pulls.

Thank you in advance for all your assistance.

I just finished building some drawers and used the flush mount drawer pulls like you're looking for. I build furniture for a friend of mine. Everything that I've built for her uses these same kind of pulls. There's two different sizes. The one with n4842 on the back is the larger of the two. My friend has a source. As soon as I find out, I'll let you know.

Well, I guess I am not the only one with this old furniture and the same broken pull handles.

I have searched all over and failed to come up with anything that will fit in the slot. Between my brothers and myself, all of whom received the outrigger desk/drawer set, we could use about 30 of these pulls.

If anyone finds a source, please let us know. I will do likewise.

Thanks.

I have been carrying around what I think is a 50s maybe 60s china cabinet made by Young Hinkle. My wife and I finally bought a house and the piece doesnt really fit anywhere. So I have been put to the task of selling it or sanding it down and painting it for the new babies things. I dont particularly want to destroy the cabinet by painting it but until I can identify exactly what it is and worth I dont have a leg to stand on. If you know of a web site I might be able to go to and look it up or would like to call me my number is (405)301-2818. any help would be appreciated.

There was a recent Ebay auction for 9 pieces of damaged Y-H furniture. It sold for $49. Between the pieces there were at least 15 of the inset handles.

It might be worth watching for these auctions. Even though this was a local pick up only, sellers might have been willing to ship only the drawers (or drawer fronts) and scrap the rest. The auction number was 220162935924.

I find it rewarding that so many people besides myself purhased the Ship Ahoy Furniture. Mine is now in my sons bedroom. Just wanted all of you to know that I have the Young Hinckle catalog from the late 70's of the Ship Ahoy Series #727 The Cover is color and the insides are black and white. I too had a problem with the wood center guide in the chest of drawers but took a good one out from the drwaer above and went to Dixiline where they machined me replacement rails. my br-ss handles are all in good shape. I have 727-235 which is the door dresser base 9-dr 1 x door 727-207 landscape mirror 727-652 sea chest 727-307 chest 5 drawer 727-622 night tables.

Hi
I have a 35 year old Hinkle nautical bedroom set. It was my son's bedroom set and he is now 36. I have not been able to part with it. I have the roll-top desk, triple dresser, mirror, small dresser with a hutch for the top, and a twin size shipwheel headboard. I do not have the trundle for under the bed.
Even though it is worn around the edges, I have kept it through all our moves. The only problem I have is the wood around the edges seems to be deteriorating. Does anyone have any suggestions? thank you!
So happy to see we were not the only ones who loved this nautical set!

I have just purchased a set of young-hinkle ship ahoy line and would like to find some nightstands and some kind of short dresser to use as a tv stand. The set I got has the bed,desk and hutch, and the armoire. I have seen through these posts that this furniture is from the 70's and it looks very well made. I knew when I saw the wood guide rails and metal guide sleeves that it must be good stuff. If any above pieces mentioned can be found email me. I located in Texas. Thanks

Hi all,
I am trying to do some research on a bedroom set of Young Hinkle furniture that I purchased about 20 or so years ago. I actually have two complete sets but currently only want to sell one. What I am looking for is the specific name of my set so that I can accurately advertise it, as well as an approximate value of the entire set. It is in great shape, with no gauges, nicks, etc., and no issues with the brass pulls. The set is very heavy, and from the looks of the dark wood it is solid oak. The inside of all of the drawers also have a newspaper type covering printed on the bottom (from the factory). Can anyone help? Maybe direct me to a website that shows all of the bedroom furniture produced by Young Hinkle in the 80's? Will gladly take photos tonight and e-mail them directly.

What I have for sale are as follows:
(1) queen size bed with headboard only, box spring and mattress (the box spring is good but the mattress needs replacing)
(1) 2-drawer nightstand
(1) tall dresser with 3 large drawers, 2 small drawers and a square storage area with hinged door on the top right
(1) large 6-drawer dresser with attached mirror

All pieces are located in Southern IN and need to be picked up. Also don't want to sell pieces separately.

Please feel free to e-mail me directly and reply to this post on the mesage board. I will respond much quicker with a direct repsonse, but your info may also help other people on this board!

OK - replying to my own post here ... I actually found out what the furniture is. Here is the info. If anyone can use it just let me know!

FOR SALE: Young-Hinkle Windjammer boys bedroom furniture

This safe and sturdy Young-Hinkle Windjammer bedroom set is a perfect fit for any child or young adult. It was the exact style of bedroom furniture that was used on the set of the deleted "E.T." The set was beautifully crafted during the mid-1980s with solid wood materials that are far superior to the thin supplies and cheap construction that we have come to expect with most modern furniture. There are four pieces in this set, each is solid oak beautifully textured and stained a medium-brown tone with brass hardware. The dressers are built very well and have deep drawers sturdy enough to hold the heaviest of loads. The bed comes with the box spring & mattress. The entire set was purchased new by me, is in great condition and is a wise investment that will last as a child grows to adulthood. The set includes:

(1) queen size bed with headboard, box spring and mattress (the box spring is good but the mattress probably needs replacing)
(1) 2-drawer nightstand   (HxWxD is 24 x 24 x 16)
(1) tall dresser with 3 large drawers, 2 small upper drawers and a square storage area with hinged door on the top right   (dresser HxWxD is 48 x 36.5 x 18 - WxH of mirror is 45 x 42.75)
(1) large 6-drawer dresser with attached mirror   (HxWxD is 30 x 56 x 18)

This is the higher end of youth bedroom furniture. Comparable sets will sell today for at least $4,000 - $5,000. Young-Hinkle was bought out by Lexington Furniture Co., so they no longer have a web site. Young America, by Stanley, manufactures comparable items so you can check out prices of those comparable units on the web. Just search under Stanley Young America. As I am not sure of the value of this furniture, so I am asking for serious offers in the $1,400.00 range. I don't need to sell it and don't want to give it away, but it is also no longer being used. This furniture is located in Evansville, IN 47715. I am asking the buyer to provide transport, and I will only sell as a complete set. Local prospective buyers are welcome to view the furniture in person. Photos are available on request.

Hi,

I have been trying to locate some hinges and a handle for this piece of furniture for some time. It is a dresser with 3 large drawers, 2 smaller, and a square opening. The numbers from the hinge are N08303 KBC and N08304 KBC. The handle was removed sometime ago to find a replacement, but now it's mis-placed. So I don't have any numbers. So any help on locating these parts would be appreciated. I have contacted the website in this posting to see if they can help.

Thanks,

Jessica, I have written 2 messages to post here and they are not appearing. My e-mail address is zetta1961@hotmail.com. I think it's Cape Cod (the furniture style). I can give you more info. I do not want to write all of it and then it does not post.

I have been eying the Young-Hinkle Windjammer set. I'm in love with it, but I keep missing them on my craigslist by a hair. There is is one locally, but it's out of my price range.

Then, this weekend by some miracle I was the first one to respond to an ad on craigslist that said "Ethan Allen" bedroom set - $50 for it ALL. It looked so much like the YK WIndjammer set, that I went to take a look. I got it and it's BEAUTIFUL. But... it's not Ethan Allen, but Dixie. The set is called "clippership". The measurements are the same as the windjammer set, same bureau design, but slightly different hardware. Even the hinge on door of the chest is broken.

Yesterday a quick ebay search led me to the discover that Young-Hinkle was started by Dixie. I was pysched...

So, now I'm on the lookout for more pieces, but what should I expect to pay? On my local cl a 4 piece set sold for $200 a couple days ago (bureau, desk with hutch and night stand). I just missed it. Another is a 10 piece set is listed for $1800. And as I mentioned, I got a twin bed set, double dresser with hutch, desk, and chair and a mismatched night chest for $50.

And, again, where to find comparable hinges?

Hi. I have a set of furniture. I dont know what model it is. I has brass handles, it's oak with diagonal slash marks that are obviously on purpose. I have a chest with 3 large drawers on the bottem and two small ones on the left with a cabinet/storage on the right. I have a desk w/leather top and a matching chair. I have a bookcase/hutch w/light that I believe goes on the top of the desk. There is also a computer desk w/swivel top, right side pull out for tower, pullout keyboard tray and two door cabinet on bottem. Does anyone know what to call this style? Is anyone interested in purchasing any of this furniture? It is all in excellent condition with a pulls and glides in place.

I had the same problem.

My solution was I took them to a metal fbricator and had him make a bunch for me. I painted them flat black and they fit like a charm. They wont ever break either as they are solid steel. Cost me about 60 dollars for 10 of them to be made.

Hope this helps.
