These chairs have been in our office since probably the 60's but the tags are cut off.

Gunlocke typically put an inset round bronze medallion on the inside of the right rear leg about the diameter of a nickel. Other office furniture companies made similar waiting room chairs at the time.

Gunlocke would be my first guess but many companies made chairs in this style:  Boling, Murphy Miller,  Jasper, etc.   They are basically Americanized versions of Danish armchairs of the period, Wegner's "round chair" in particular.

The Danish inspiration source seems more Hong/Kirkegaard to me.
