Hi, for the purists, could anyone provide additional information on these S chairs. Purchased new in 1975.  Herman Miller logo. 
What would be the most exact way to refer to these chairs? Original Panton Herman Miller S chairs (1975)? Is that exact? How would you describe them.

The correct name for this chair is "Panton Chair".  There is another, earlier chair by Panton that is called the S-chair (pictured).  It looks like your chairs have the Fehlbaum name on them.  I'm not an expert on the connections between Fehlbaum & Co. , Vitra, and Herman Miller, but based on the markings of your chairs, I would list them the way Wright Auctions does here:

I did run across this old ad from Fehlbaum.  The last paragraph reads:

The Panton Chair from the Herman Miller International Collection is available in black in white and other selected colors. Fehlbaum manufactures them under license and sells them through official resellers.
