    Upholstery colors look more like late 60s-70s but suppose they could be earlier. Value is tough to gage. Maybe $25.00 each at retail here in my semi-rural Midwest location. Certainly more in a big city. Considerably less at auction or other wholesale venue.

    In my neck of the woods (northern Virginia) I'd guess these would go for about 100-150 a piece pretty easily. I'm actually sitting in a similar Gunlocke(same frame different upholstery) as I type this that I paid 65 for.

    Location, location, location...... As in real estate, it is everything when it comes to selling furniture. I can see how these could be worth more in some locations. This kind of stuff is way under-valued where I live.

    Based on the logo? If so, that would be the earliest they could be. Styling says later so could be up to 1970 when their logo changed.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Welcome, @Heidi shuster -- I found a similar one (with the notched armrests) sold recently on eBay. They show the bottom of the cushion, which has 10/71 and I assume that is a date for at least the cushions. And they show the logo tag, which is the same as yours. (Sold for $135 in August 2019, in case the link below goes dead some day.)

    That being said, they probably made this style for a long time. In looking, I saw relatively few with that arm style. Also, most of the ones I saw had been reupholstered. Obviously the one linked above had not been.
