embossing on #5 or #6 six drawer singer cabinet
A friend of mine has a six drawer cabinet and part of the embossing is missing. So far, I can't find the design and part of the embossing is missing. I don't have pictures yet, and I wondered if anyone had any ideas on how to find or repair it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'll try to post pictures when I get them

I have the same issue on a White cabinet I purchased last summer. What I had found was...
Some original moldings can be found on www.vandykes.com, or if there is otherwise another full molding on the same cabinet Plaster of Paris can be used to create a casting which can be faux painted to look like wood, or used to create a mold that can be filled with either putty moistened with linseed-oil and mixed with wood chips, or Plaster of Paris mixed with methylated spirit.
