| 1956 base | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | Eameshead | General discussion | |
| 1956 base (Herman miller definitely didn't do the re glue job! I am not sure what to think about the mounts themselves, they seem pretty new to me, but kin may be right also) edit: didn't see woody's post as I wrote this. And yes of course it is a real Eames chair, and the zinc base has the rubber and metal swivel glides that were only produced one year (officially) 1956. The glides appear on many 1957 bases as well, and a few could also possibly have appeared before 1956. The residue of the lost sticker is from a foil Herman Miller label. That and the pape ... | |||||

It might have a lacquer finish that has yellowed, in which case lacquer remover would get rid of it, but it might also take the paint off. Maybe the same style is still sold? The technical term is canopy if you want to google it. | |||||

| I've got more information... I've got more information direct from the family. Johannes Aasbjerg Andersen and Harry Ørtoft Andersen were brothers. Johannes was the designer and salesman (and a cabinet maker). Harry was the primary cabinet maker. From Henning Aasbjerg Andersen, the son of Johannes: " My father was born in Struer, a part of DK on the westcoast of Jylland (part of DK). There were 6 children and amongst Harry Ørtoft. Johannes was born in 1921 and passed away in 2006 - 85 years old. In 1941 he got his "Svendebrev" as a cabinetmaker (maskin- og ... | |||||

| Apologies | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | Baraka | General discussion | |
| Apologies First let me apologize for stepping over the line. I must admit that I actually didn't see the rules until after I had posted. I came in directly to this thread, and registeed from there, rather than the home page. You mirrored my thoughts about "selling" vs "asking" price, as getting that would be a bit of a dream for me, and certainly not what I would have asked. I do so appreciate your advice. If it is allowed, if you could give the name of some of the sites you mentioned, it would be tremendous help. My husband was quite a collector, and wa ... | |||||

And why would you want to subject expensive leather suitcases to the battering they'll receive in an airport baggage-handling system? Plus, if your old suitcases don't accomodate TSA locks, you have to leave them unlocked or risk having the locks broken for inspection. Also, I can't remember the last time anyone checked my luggage tags at an airport baggage carousel. Why would you want to advertise the value of your lug ... | |||||

| jdip To me, the LTR is a great table because of it's simplicity, proportions, versatility and design restraint. It is rudimentary and small and basic and humble, yet exquisitely refined in all aspects of finish, proportion and function. But I digress! My #1 favorite aspect of the LTR is reduction. To me, it is the simplest definition EVER of what a table IS -- in the most radical terms. A "floating" rectangular top on a see-through base. It almost isn't there. There may be simpler tables, but this one has a way of making one notice how dangerously close to ... | |||||

| Oh. Whoops! Sorry, BJ. I only saw a corner of it in the photo you posted and didn't notice that it's obviously different from the one in my manual with LED displays. How embarrassing. I'll search for similar documentation of the device you ACTUALLY have. If I don't post it here in the next day or two, I didn't find it. | |||||

| Try searching google for Brød... Try searching google for Brødrene Sørheim. It was a Norwegian company. I didn't find a marked specimen in my short while searching. Regardless of maker, it looks Norwegian, which how I found the name Sørheim. It has quite a few unusual characteristics, so look for the characteristics in a marked piece even if it isn't a credenza. Also you might contact some of the sellers and ask about the attribution. Finally there aren't that many skeleton keys shapes out there so it isn't surpring that the key from a Hundevad piece opens t ... | |||||

| @#%#*#??? Yeah, Modernica jumped something bad a long long time ago. Consider the endless line of bastardizations that already litter Modernica's dubious past, so why not this? They USE the idea of "authenticity" by bragging about having Sol Fingerhut's original shell molding machine-- but then look what they DO with it! It looks like someone at the factory got wasted and threw the poor kitten into the mold machine. We didn't need an updated illustration of what bad taste is... but Modernica gave us one anyway. | |||||

| well thank god... .. that Retro Hunter had the answer, because I sure as heck didn't. Those top bracket parts that attach to the mounts do look a little thick. Is there a chance that they might have been made by a third party? Like once the side shells became ubiquitous someone did a batch of bases to sell to ice cream parlors? The overall look seems a little bit "stodgy" somehow... but not THAT stodgy. (I just mean a bit less lightweight and graceful looking than the typical Eames base.) Like I said, I have nothing. Just a little bit of "WTF". I love ... | |||||
