<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 333239, member: 6444"]The earlier chairs that are more desirable are made of fiberglass. This looks like an injection molded plastic one to me, they started making them in plastic in 2001 after his death. That is also the least desirable style of base. I know the fiberglass ones are all marked in the mould as well as given a paper label, and I've read online that is true of the plastic ones too though I don't have personal experience. So really hunt for a mark. There are licensed and unlicensed reproductions made in plastic still today, so it is possible they are reproduction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
