I recently found these two chairs. They don't have a stamp or label on them. One has a damaged leg that was BADLY repaired. They appear to be Cherner but the profile doesn't look exaclty right based on what I see online and on the Cherner Chair Company site. I was told they are from the 60s but not sure. Any suggestions on how best to verify?

No
Not Cherner, though they are often advertised as such.

Nutshell
This is discussed at the link below, this is a Plycraft chair, obviously derived from the "original" Cherner one, design of which was appropriated (or not) from that of the Nelson pretzel chair, this is just one of the later (sucky) versions of it, which inexplicably still sells on ebay for a little bit of money.
There appear to be about a billion recent contemporary knockoffs of the "Cherner" chair in the marketplace right now, blame television and lifestyle magazines.
