Hi there!
I've bought five Eames side chairs in parchment colour.
They seem to be quite old, due to the rich fiber.
Some of them are not marked at all, and some are marked with a B embossed. I am not an expert about Eames production, can anybody help me in identifying that mark?
How can I have an idea about the date of production?
Thanks, Riccardo

'B'
I have a few chairs that have no markings other than that 'B' as well. I contacted the Eames office and they indicated that it referred to the factory where they were made, but couldn't tell me much more than that. I'd be happy to forward you the emails if you'd like!
Also the feet are a good way to gauge age, plastic feet= after 1957 (I think!)
