Hello,
I’m brand new here and have a question I’m sure someone has the answer to! I’m re-doing an old Swedish Credenza with 3 drawers. In the picture is what was attached to the top back of the drawer.
Some are missing and I’ve had absolutely no luck finding them anywhere! I called a few places just to try to see what the proper name of this is
since it’s no longer used on furniture today. Does anyone know what this is called and where I can fund them? Also,
if this no longer can be purchased what do you suggest instead? Thank you SO very much for any help or insight you can lend:)

Do you have a picture of one of these, installed?
can you send a photo showing it in place on the drawer so we have an idea of function?
Sorry about that! Just loaded a picture. It sits on top of the back of the drawer.
That is probably there to run against the underside of the surface above the drawer to keep it level as the drawer is pulled out beyond its tipping point. Any small piece of wood or plastic fastened to the edge of the drawer will serve. Do you notice a difference in how the drawer works with / without it in place?
It indeed may be a substitute for kickers that normally exist above the drawer sides in web frame and other forms of drawer case construction. I agree that any sort of "rub" block would replace this function if the absence of one is noticeable. You might consider a metal tack-on glide as pictured.
