Can anyone provide me with Information on how to date the 1st year production or very early womb chairs please. Does the base have screw in glides, slip on glides, rubber glides, plastic glides or different types/sizes of bases. thank you

I've always wanted to date a Knoll womb...
Florence was such a doll.
Pictures are helpful by the way...

I believe
They should be screw-in self-leveling glides, similar to the Saarinen executive chairs. Are the leg ends tapped?
I'm sure someone who actually has a Womb chair will chime in with more definitive information.
Sweet black frame, btw.

Well where are the glides then?
Lovely chair. And an early one no doubt. But missing the glides, no?

According to the store that these images are from
it is a first year production (that has been reupholstered).
I suppose you are trying to verify that claim before deciding to purchase it?

i was trying to verify before...
i was trying to verify before i purchase, i thought the glides would be boot glides or welded on glides not screw on. this chair has screw on glides.
