<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fred M, post: 163671, member: 2722&quot;]Hi,</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve bought a US office chair a few weeks ago.</p><p>It&#039;s made of wood and has leather on the seat.</p><p>Overall condition is average, one armrest has been broken, and badly fixed.</p><p>All nails that hold the leather are completely rusted.</p><p>It needs a complete restoration.</p><p>The chair can lean back, but the main bolt that allows that function has been lost/broken and replaced with a modern one. The spring is broken, but I have the original and I can have one remade.</p><p>After disassembly, I&#039;ve found it is a &quot;Milwaukee Chair Co.&quot; office chair. Using that info with google, I can&#039;t find the same chair (wood, leather seat, lyre-shaped splat, single-spring mechanism...). I have found many &quot;1914&quot; chairs but mine seems &quot;rare&quot;.</p><p>The markings in the cast metal are : &quot;PAT&#039;D MILWAUKEE CHAIR CO.&quot;, and on another part : &quot;PAT. IN U.S. &amp; GR. BRITAIN&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>My questions are : does someone know the name/model of this chair and when it was produced? I&#039;m also looking for pictures of the mechanism to have the main bolt rebuilt like the original one.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve made some photos, here they are :</p><p><a href="https://goo.gl/photos/xSdM8ZWmwXSgdnv3A" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://goo.gl/photos/xSdM8ZWmwXSgdnv3A" rel="nofollow">https://goo.gl/photos/xSdM8ZWmwXSgdnv3A</a></p><p>(can&#039;t display images directly in this message from google photos, sorry!)</p><p><br /></p><p>If someone can give me some answers, I would be more than happy <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
