I was told its 47 years old, for some reason i feel like the selling just said that random number to make me buy it...

HEY it worked! good job, but who wouldn't buy this for 30 dollars?

does anyone have an idea of the year this model came from?
Reminds me of a Zenith shell without the arms (texture wise)

(the last picture is a sticker that came off when i was cleaning it, its the item number, but it has not date)

I know these chairs come around alot and are not to rare, but for some reason this one seemed alot different then all the ones i have seen, maybe im wrong...

anyway let me know your thoughts!

thanks

Yes i noticed that...
so what does this mean? I see that the shock-mounts have been redone, but what does that C mean...
I Know what it stands for: Cincinatti Milicron
but how do i figure out its age, is there a time when this particular manufacture started and stopped?
when i looked it up on google it has no info on it.
-thanks again!
