Admittedly there have been a lot of threads on the Eames shell chair....hopefully no one will mind another.
I bought two armshells last year. Elephant gray, no stamps, only one had a paper label, regular shock mounts, a little more than average fiber content, lounge height zinc h bases, a bargain at $7 each...
The zinc bases however, have metal feet I've only seen once before. Is it an older base or just a standard order ?
Is it reasonable to assume that because the shells have no stamps whatsoever they are older (pre-1960), would that fall in line with the bases as well?

Thank you for that...I had been unable to source any real information on these particular glides.
If they were only used for a brief period of time I can't imagine they were discontinued because the feet were prone to snap or break easily. After 50 years or so, those bad boys are on there solid as a rock, and show no sign of failing any time soon.
