I'm selling these chairs, and I don't want to misrepresent them. Did these OD Mobler stools ever get thee silver stickers? Honestly... I saw some other (authentic) ones and the following was different:

1. Most pronouncedly, these do not have a footrest. Is this the dead giveaway?

2. The silver "70s style" OD Mobler sticker does not have the "TFL" number and are of the wrong size. Are these authentic?

Does anyone have a OD Mobler catalogue or experience with authenticating these? Thank you in advance!

Best,

Jason

Your stools look fine to me. The OD Mobler sticker had some changes over the years, as did those of many companies.

The lack of a footrest is correct for counter height stools. In fact, if you have counter height stools with a footrest, they were most likely originally bar height stools that were cut (butchered) by a previous owner.

Another tell for original counter height stools is that the rear stretcher should be higher than the front stretcher (like yours). Bar height stools have the front and rear stretchers aligned.
