Featured REAL OR REPRODUCTION EAMES LOUNGER?

I found this at a local thrift store today & when the guy told me $7 I grabbed it! I figure even if a reproduction it was worth more than the $75 - the wood frame is beautiful!

The bolts under the armrests look like it may be from the 60's? Another indication - the upholstery is in corduroy!

Once I got it home I looked everywhere for some ind o maker's mark, but the only thing I could sing was under the chrome"feet" - it was made in Canada.

Thanks guys, I appreciate any help - 1st furniture piece I've gotten in a while; and I'm hoping I did alright.

 

It's Plycraft. I've got one sitting in my living room right now.

 

Really?!

 

Awesomeness!

 

I think that may well be the original fabric.I hope it cleans up well,it'd be a shame to lose it. Great chair.

 

Looks VERY cool!!!!! AND Comfortable!!!

 

Wonderful bargain, and I agree with Aqui, very comfortable.

 

I thought I recognized the 2 support arms on back for head rest, but never thought it was a real one! Never saw 1 with corduroy upholstery either; always leather
Thanks - made my day!
PS - Heck of a lucky week thrift store hunting - bought a Colnago EsaMexico bike that was in a row of old 10 speeds - it was so dirty it was selling for same $49 as others; I washed it & it sold in 4 hours on eBay for $750!
Same day at different place I found a 1975 APHA Jr Champion belt buckle for $10 that sold for $200 on same day on eBay
Yesterday bought a Leica german camera for $100 & accepted $250 last night
And yesterday bought 2 Singer 221 sewing machines for $75 (both work but 1 is missing belt & 1 a power cord) - that I haven't posted yet!
I am leaving soon to get back to thrift store 30 min before opening so I am #1 or 2 in line to hunt again today!
Thank you all again for your help!

 

But here is one the thrift store got revenge! 2 weeks ago I saw this & thought it was a vintage Made in USA Fender Telecaster & bought it for $400 - turned out to be a Fender-stein mix of fake parts! I accepted the loss & sold it for $200

 

Wow! Congrats on your windfall!

You worked for it and deserve it.

When you list your 221(s) list them as Singer Featherweights.

I haven't checked them out lately, but they were selling in the $200+ range. Do they have the original cases?

Of course condition means a lot too.

 

What a great week JM. Wishing you continued good luck.

 

Judy, no cases - but for $75 for the pair I didn't say anything! 1 is a 1937 & 1 is a 1957 by their serial number; but they have different front designs - otherwise they are exactly the same. They are they both 221's, right? (Sorry no more pics; camera ran out of space & I still have to download others on it before making more room.

 

They are 221's if they are marked such.

I have never sold one without a case so I don't know just how much that will hurt the selling price. I think parts are available, but missing parts do affect the price. Since you have one power plug, you can check them out to see if they work.

Also, if you want to oil them, do not use anything but Sewing Machine Oil.
