Good
Nice looking early DCM.

early?
woodywood, how can you tell that this is an early dcm (aside from the fact that it looks like it has been used and abused)?

Glides
It has the first generation "dome of silence" glides.

Could be Evans, but you'd have to see where the frame connects to the back.

Evans?
i'll take a picture of the back and post...maybe you tell me what to look for in making an evans determination.
thanks guys. i inherited this from my grandparents...no plans on selling it, just wanted to know a little more about it.

back photos
took a photo of the back and the chair profile. don't know what to look for in determining whether it's an evans. can someone provide some help?

Yes
The Evans production frames have round tabs. When Herman Miller assumed production they switched to the oval shape.

Thanks, Peg!
And this chair does not appear abused at all to me. From the photos, the condition looks quite good for its age.
