I have found an Antique Chest, The drawers have a joint instead of dovetails. It is a circle of about 1″ dia with a pin of 1/4″ in the center. This is how the sides were joined to the drawer face.. What do we know about this joint and what is the best way of reproducing it?? see attached

Dear vthighwheel,
There is a name for that type of joint, and I'm pretty sure that it surfaced in a discussion on Knots not too long ago. However, I haven't been able to find that old discussion. I'd suggest posting your question in either the General Discussion folder or in the Joinery folder. Someone is sure to give you an answer in short order. I'm sorry that I couldn't help right away.
Best,
