| Hi leif, thanks a lot for the | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | louie_louie | Identification | |
| Hi leif, thanks a lot for the insight. didn't have pictures then, that's why I haven't added them. 🙂 Regarding the PK just found out that it is not Fritz Hansen as it does not match their model height. Would the Kold Christensen model have the same height? Would it be marked? Regarding the Wegner sofa, would the marking always be "engraved"/stamped in the wood or would there be any kind of label or sticker that might have been removed? Is there an area of the sofa that would consistently be where they placed the stamp? Thank you so much for your help! | |||||
| I think the carpenters' | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Spanky | Identification | |
| ... in the final inspection, the inspector knows who was at fault. A year or five years later someone entirely different could be #2 carpenter. It's an ID system that is relevant in the factory, not beyond. I have redone woven chair seats that had no penciled initials so that doesn't mean much either. Some guys wrote their first names, some used initials, some didn't mark them at all. I do like redoing a set where most of the chairs were done by one guy, though! That's kind of sweet. It seems more personal. | |||||

| ... design is nice and simplistic - very MCM The points that hurt its value/desirability, starting from least important: -No well known manufacturer -They're custom built, often bespoke for a room -Very difficult to transport unlike a CADO (or similar) -Not as modular as a CADO (or similar) -No designer attached to it. I don't really know the owner for the record. I found the piece and saw it had a family name on the back. They were local to me and I knew they were cabinetmakers still to this day, doing bespoke work. I phoned him up and he nicely gave me 20 min ... | |||||

| I did look at it back then. No marks at all. And the finish isn't a red lacquer as I thought, it's a true red stain with a high gloss clear finish. The woodgrain is clearly visible. I think it's probably beech but I didn't really look for that. | |||||

| Once you mentioned India, it reminded me of the charpoy or charpai (which I only learned about recently because someone asked me if i could reweave one for her but she turned out to be across the ocean so that didn't work out). Charpoys often are woven with open warp at one end, i guess where your feet go because they need less support? They were used for a long time for sleeping outside in hot weather but also for just general seating. I can easily see that style of weaving carrying over to chairs, too. http://www.stringbedco.com/history.html They us ... | |||||
| Very true, tktoo! | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Mark | Identification | |
| Very true, tktoo! My folks just didn't bother with a lock on the booze supply. It would have been a total waste of time, as I had 2 friends who could pick any lock, and my folks were seldom home. So we had my fathers house (basement bar) rule. "Alcohol and pubic hair are a dangerous combination". There were a few incidents. Cigarettes were fine, but only the poor people smoked pot, and not on his turf. The 1970's. My god. Best, Aunt Mark ps we were also allowed to use certain swear words, but they had to be whispered until we reached legal age. It ... | |||||

| well this is sort of odd. Just got back from the goodwill with the following. It looks like a Raymor/Bitossi beach holiday getaway lamp. Someone rewired it and diDN'T FEED THE CORD THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE SIDE OF THE BASE, so it leans. Pegboard, it was calling to you via me via this thread. EDIT - and yes, that thar is real bamboo.... Not to feed an addiction, but if you are interested in it PEGB, it can be yours at cost. It really is quite nicely done and if you want more pics they can be supplied. EDIT - and as you know, I am a lamp guy.... | |||||

| that is the underside of the ashtray. It is HUGE. I have to figure out a way to get some light behind it. It's like a neon Buddha hand I think it is a sizing issue w/ my photo's. I know there is a size limit but I didn't used to have a problem w/ ones taken on my cell phone. I guess I am going to have to do some photo editing. Maybe I'll futz with that today The LARGE one is Ming and he is that fuzzy. He also has a stub tail so looks even more like a walking fuzz ball. He is the sweetest creature on earth.

| Dang! I got an error message | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Spanky | Identification | |
| Dang! I got an error message with one link and just one photo with the other link, but now i am getting an error message with both links. The one i saw looked a bit like this, I think. The photo was of one end of it only. There didn't appear to be a roof but no worries, you can order a thatched umbrella from Franks in CA and build your own on a Saturday afternoon. And PS, I adored Gilligan, and Maryann was OK, and maybe Ginger---but the rest of them could all go take a hike. (Now Hogan's Heroes, that's another story.) | |||||

| ... sure it was sanded, not stripped. Stripper would have dripped down the sides on those seat rails but what you have are is a very crisp line where the bare wood stops and the old finish begins. And that lower rung (?) on the back would have drip marks instead of the finish being smoothly and gradually worn away. Sanding will leave finish in deeper pores. Sometimes a stripper or solvent will lift this out. Spot cleaning will leave marks like watermarks but just go over it all with solvent to get rid of them. I didn't notice the snaps at the top, too-- i ... | |||||
| Picked these up yesterday, | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| Picked these up yesterday, from two different places. Aluminum chair (I posted about this chair a couple a days ago) appears to be a Herman Miller edition, fully stamped. I like it's sleek/slender look and it sits perfectly. Also picked up two France & Son models. Went to see them last week, but they were awfully reupholstered wich didn't help the seller draw attention. To my surprise the cushions are sprung and when opening one of the zippers the original linnen upholstering appeared, almost unblemished. I also managed to pick up a beautiful round mirror b ... | |||||

| Interesting. You can see in those photos that the drawers do not slide on dados along the sides, in the normal Danish way of doing drawers. Each drawer is individually boxed out bind the drawer front, and they slide on their bottoms. This might be different than the Danish norm because of needed structure in the drawer cases for the legs. Arne Vodder designed similar recessed pulls for Sibast, obviously, but the construction of the drawer front in this desk is preferable in my opinion. If you study a Sibast drawer front it is a sandwhich from front to rear ... | |||||

| I had searched that but the coloring is different. The one I had linked is the only exact one I have seen, with color strength Any thought on the close ups? There is also a light pencil $80 marking on the back that quite Worn away. The lady I got it from didn't know about it. Does anyone know what where original sales prices of these back in the day? 80$ in 1970 is about the same as 500$ today. It came from one of the islands around Savannah GA which are very wealthy and have a high Jewish population. So not sure if there is any Legiticy to my theory | |||||

| I used to have those little red-eared slider turtles for pets---live baby ones---from Woolworth's for 79 cents each but they all died because duh, they're not meant to live in the salad bowls that Woolworth's sold for them. But now I'm (self-appointed) head water gardener for a large pond that is home to a population of living turtles that hang out there by choice, which kinda makes up for the Woolworth tragedy. No turtle finials, though. Used to have some turtle skeletons. But anyway, yes--lamps! I always wanted nicer finials but never got around to doi ... | |||||
