Coconut Chair, date or other info sought  

errgh
Not sure,couldn't get past the phrase 'badly soiled' where's the bucket!!!

I had the same question
I am currently trying to purchase an early Coconut chair that has the exact same sticker. The current owner said that they purchased the chair in the 60s. I was hoping to find a Herman Miller label, but no luck.
The chair needs new foam and upholstery. The shell is rust free and the base/legs are in good shape with only some very light rust showing here and there. I'd be curious as to opinions on market value. My $500 offer didn't fly, but I think that a $750 offer would work.
Thanks

Not exactly sure of the question
I missed this when originally posted last year, but the cleaning instructions do not provide any information about provenance. Provenance typically refers to the chronology of the ownership, not information regarding the manufacturer or date of production.
The cleaning instructions do provide information as to the generation of your coconut chair. The earlier generation chairs had removable covers, hence, the instructions for removing, cleaning or replacing the "pad". You can also determine this by the construction of the chair. If the legs are all one piece, welded and chrome plated, if there are snaps on the bottom where the pad covers the turnbuckle, there are small hooks in the three corners of the chair and the shell is more coarsely assembled with what looks like bondo where the back struts connect, it's the earlier generation. If the pad is fixed and held in place with a channel that runs all the way around the perimeter, the legs are segmented and made of cast aluminum, then you are looking at a second generation coconut chair.
Mikeo, if the coconut chair you want to buy has that label, it is in fact first generation Herman Miller production. I won't comment on market value other than to say if you are indeed able to buy it for less than $1000, you might want to wear a mask because you are stealing it.

Thanks for the good info
I included info about the label in case it was only present on chairs during a particular date range and perhaps discontinued after 1963 for example. The chair that I am attempting to purchase is an early version with a metal shell, snaps, hooks and the earlier legs.
I was fishing for opinions on the value of the chair because I was unable to find any auction comps for a early Coconut chair shell and base.
Thanks again
