    Twas 3 days before Christmas, driving through the Seattle suburbs....and i happen upon this little gem sitting on the roadside, in the rain. I had to make a U turn to rescue her. Sadly she had a sister that had been beat to a pulp/broken frame and torn. Left her behind 20231222_205305_copy_450x1000.jpg 20231222_205311_copy_450x1000.jpg 20231222_205317_copy_450x1000.jpg 20231222_205321_copy_450x1000.jpg 20231222_205403_copy_1000x450.jpg 20231222_205445_copy_450x1000.jpg .
    Here's what I believe to be true...Boling Chair Company, Siling NC....Frame is super cool.....Naugahyde?? Mid Century modern. This chair is heavy as all hell. I still need to give her a good wipedown (yes that's a banana sticker on the side of it!)

    Thoughts?

    You stated it was sitting in the rain - make sure it isn't waterlogged from soaking up the rain and could possibly start molding.

    the plastic is already curling from age and pulling at the rusted staples......

    Nice find, Diva. I'm not a fan of faux leather on furniture, but the mid-century frame is nice.
    Knowing the company name you should be able to find the type of cushion that went in it. Maybe there are still records, or you can find the same chair through google.
    If it has a knitted back it could be naugahyde. Some other faux leathers also have knitted backs, but some have woven or pressed backs or no backing at all.
