I think this chair may be by Paul McCobb. The chair looks it's made from walnut or mahogany; it has small chrome tacks(?) on the bottom of each foot. the chair has a cane back and the upholstery isn't original. But I can't find any markings on the chair, or any legit info about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It closely resembles these Benches:

I grabbed this other pic...
I grabbed this other pic from your flickr page.
It reminds me of Edward Wormley for Dunbar. The caning and the cushions do. Others more knowledgable than I should be able to shed more light.
Beautiful chair. $10? Really?

Thank you..
I'm new with this forum thing, so I haven't gotten the picture thing down yet.
But anyway, I thought Wormley too. But I also couldn't find any examples that matched the construction of the chair's frame.
Yeah ten dollars! Believe me, I freaked out when I saw it. I immediately ran to the cashier counter thinking someone else would get it. It was an epic moment. haha.
