	Don't know	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Pegboard Modern	General discussion
	... and that the thicker feet were a later modification. You can buy replacement feet in both thicknesses. I don't put a lot of stock in the placement of the hole for the set screw as a means of dating the chairs. This seems like something that would have been done by hand (drilling and tapping the hole) not something that would have been in the mold. Far more interesting I think is the difference in the bottom of the cast base where the four legs converge. Some are perfectly smooth, some have a dimple in the center, I think later production have numbers and ev ...

	Thanks Pegboard! Does anyone have a close-up photo of an early plastic foot? It's really hard to tell the difference from photos online. Also, is the width of the upper chair base a give-away of age? Sometimes it is the same width as the aluminum, sometimes it is thinner...

	Gave all of our male relatives Swiss vodka this year for holiday gifts from our one and only vodka/gin distillery in the country. Don't actually know if the glacier water used in the recipe makes a difference but I was voted best gift-giver this Christmas, Aunt Mark. The packaging is also cool. http://www.xellent.ch/en/

	flat black isn't the screw just a zinc screw painted flat black? I was missing a black screw on a black wire side shell and painted a zinc screw to match. You would be hard pressed to notice a difference.

	My best course	1 Relevance	13 years ago	niceguy	General discussion
	My best course I find it best not to look for trouble with others non-related actions. Don Corleone (The Godfather): It makes no difference to me what a man does for a living. I want to congratulate you on your new business and I'm sure you'll do very well and good luck to you. Especially since your interests don't conflict with mine. During the Christmas season I "try to remember" that mercy is the provenance of something greater than me.

	That is an odd chair. ... That is an odd chair. The #50 I am sitting on right now that I think is likely a Povl dinesen manufactured chair has the same form as the OD Møbler/Oddense Maskinsnedkeri version. The only difference is the joinery and impressed stamp. I don't really know what to make of this one that you've found. The level of difference are almost enough to make it look like a different chair.
	Thanks for the extra pictures	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Pegboard Modern	General discussion
	... I think they have both been reupholstered and I think your #45 chair is teak rather than rosewood. Again, some good overall shots of the chair would be helpful, but a tell-take sign is the lack of welt cord where the back meets the frame at the top outside corners. Please do not think I am trying to diminish either chair. The fact that you got the #45 at a thrift store and your egg chair from your upholstery shop makes me assume you got a terrific deal on both. And as original vintage pieces, they still have substantial intrinsic value. I would have bought ...
	Getting closer to a decision	1 Relevance	13 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	... them. Funnily enough, the more we talked about his memory of the chairs the more my husband felt certain that while the cushions were black, the straps were closer to espresso. And my mother-in-law found the original receipt and with it an envelope that had the two other colors they were considering, teak and espresso. So we think that the store somehow sent a chair with espresso straps and black cushions, and that this was never corrected (the difference is slight enough that they may not have noticed, or opted to just deal with it, knowing my in-laws). ...
	As much as I respect Aunt Mark's	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	As much as I respect Aunt Mark's opinion, I feel obliged to chime in. I reupholstered a pair of this same Flex-Steel chair a couple of years. My customer chose a different Knoll fabric but I've also used a LOT of Knoll Classic Boucle and I love it! I have done four things in the past year in the Aegean color alone. I don't think it'll make your chair look a bit frumpy. The only thing that would give it that look would be if your upholsterer goes overboard on the padding. A lot of upholsterers do that with mid-century modern furniture; they are used to ...

	Kurt Ostervig Hi, It looks very similar to a Kurt Ostervig highboard for Randers Mobelfabrik however there seems to a be a slight difference in the structure of the legs.
	base of the rocker	1 Relevance	13 years ago	JensV	General discussion
	base of the rocker The age of the shell is recognizable from symbols on the shell, but what about the base, how can you see the difference between an old and a new one? Of course wear is a big one but what else? I found another rocker this afternoon with a silver sticker with the logo and name of HM on it and the inside of the shell was covered with leather. Don't know if the owner did that but felt like the chair was downgraded with the leather. But the base on that one looked older then other ones but couldn't see much of physical differences between the b ...

	Spanky: please tell me about... Spanky: please tell me about this soap treatment for corded seats. I've not heard of doing that. And I don't think there is a durability difference either. I really dislike shellac'ed, lacquered, or otherwise sealed cord, but that is just me. Oh, and spanky, this is tangentially related, this huge roll of cord I have is unbelievably tangly. Have to put the box on a lazy susan to use it at all. It is laced cord, and before I've used unlaced. I am a bit suspicious that the tighter winding of laced cord is what makes it so ta ...

	I tried using mineral... I tried using mineral spirits with a Q-tip on the top, sides, and bottom of the CH23. No coloring (brown or otherwise) came off onto the Q-tip. The cord on the underside did appear to absorb more MS than top or sides, and that would be consistent with any type of more impermiable coating on those surfaces, naturally-formed or otherwise applied. Leif's photo was indeed interesting for me, as almost all of the old cord examples I've seen had a browner and shiner appearance. How do forum members view the aesthetic and value difference b ...

	... slight contrast between the roof and porthole blocks in the 1st image so maybe that difference should be maintained.The portholes should be white though. The slatted wall only which seems to be the core of the house in some areas may look good in a dark midnight type blue.Maybe bridge paint which has iron oxide for that subtle sparkle through it when viewed up close although colours are limited.From outside it would seem the house had a white skeletal frame. In the end I would seek pro help or google similar houses for an overall colour effect you like as c ...
