[QUOTE="Littlemountain, post: 2144899, member: 14050"]Hello; A few months back while I was out and about, I purchased 4 old wooden folding chairs. I would be interested in knowing more about them; ie. origins,age, style, and value. So with my very limited knowledge this is what I glean: The screws fastening the seat are slotted (but not iron), and the bar that forms the hinge is solid. Based on those two factors and the finish, I am guessing that they are late 50's or early 60's vintage. The words Made In Romania appear to be branded on the under side of the seats. So obviously, made in Romania. But beyond that I have no clue if they were contracted for a domestic company. As far as style I would only be able to say MCM? I guessed their value to be around $40. If anyone would like to correct me and or expound, please do. As always, I am eager to learn. Any and all info will be consumed with great relish[ATTACH=full]251928[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]251928[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]251929[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]251928[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]251929[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]251930[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]251931[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]251932[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]251933[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]251934[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]251935[/ATTACH] .
