Eames LCW chair  

Definitely beware of...
Definitely beware of previous shock mount repairs, both on the back and bottom of the chair. 5-2-5 screw pattern suggests earliest production. 5-2-4 came a little later. There've been many labels over the years, from Evans to Herman Miller. Some just have a label with patent numbers on it. Some may have fallen off.
As to pictures, you may just google them and study the different characteristics such as screw patterns, finishes, shock mount shapes, and labels.
Good luck and please post pictures if you get it!

Isn't there some tapered ply...
Isn't there some tapered ply in the curve of the seat back that I should look for? I'm looking at this tomorrow. Just trying to be prepared if this happens to be a reproduction or something.

I take it the
thread should be titled "Eames LCW chair." The composite drawing below, presumably the work of the Eames office, appeared in the September 1946 issue of Arts and Architecture magazine, in an article written by architect Eliot Noyes.
Note carefully the makeup of the central spine of the wood chair. I have no information as to whether the chair was made exactly as drawn here, but the detail of the spine is essentially correct. In any event, the chair is no longer made this way, by anyone -- as far as I can tell, and to this date.

Probably a stoner question..
but did Herman Miller ever produce LCM's? My brain is not working right now. I simply can't recall ever smelling one. hmmmmm.

Ahem.
Reading carefully between the lines, we find the following information encoded in my previous post:
". . . appeared in the September 1946 issue of Arts & Architecture magazine, in an article written by architect Eliot Noyes."
Arts & Architecture was published and edited in Southern California from 1938 until 1962 by John Entenza. Google for more info. What I didn't reveal was that the image I scanned appeared on page 71 of "Arts & Architecture - the Entenza years," edited by Barbara Goldstein and Esther McCoy and published in 1990 by the MIT Press. You could find this book on the Web, I should think. It's a hoot for any modernism fan . . .

My god...I need to pay attention. I was distracted whilst selecting an evening outfit.

I meant LCW
I edited the title, though I did no end up buying it. The chair was a newer black LCW, though the seller gave the impression it was a vintage original. I did end up with these though...
The chair wasn't the best deal in the world but it is in great shape. But the seller basically gave the splint away. I might end up buying a few more things from the same seller as it was a mini gold mine of modern furniture.

The aluminum lounge looks to...
The aluminum lounge looks to be very new and in very good shape. Did you just buy it from the seller because you didn't get what you went there for or had you been looking for that to begin with? How's the comfort of it?

A most lovely chair.
Not ..really...comfortable, but a beautiful example. It appears to be a 5 start base with black leather? Very nice.

ps does your splint have any vintage blood stains? Or maybe an old remnant of a bandage?

The chair is in near perfect...
The chair is in near perfect condition. The owner had mentioned it was hardly ever sat in. I would have bought everything they were selling, but I really need to make more room in the place and simply couldn't afford it.
No signs of actual use of the splint. In the frame is the original Evans packaging label.

Evans LCW
Aunt mark yes Evans made LcWs.
