Thanks all. Love the forums

Try this: http://www.identifyandvaluemyvintagefurniture.com/glennofcalifornia/chairs
It's a pretty good website, but may not be the REALLY good resource you are looking for. Sorry if it falls short of your expectations and sorry it took so long to reply to your post.
If you don't get the answer you are looking for there, you might want to try posting some clear photos here. I'm sure if anyone has any information about your chairs, they would be happy to share.

Glenn from California...
Glenn is on the left and he is from California.
His partner is Gary and he's from Idaho.
They both share a passion for all things design.

John Kapel (attributed) Glenn of California
See link below....
There is not a good source out there that I have found for Glenn of California furniture I own a number of chairs, credenzas...
You might want to try Jeff Baron (Glenn of California was his grandfathers and father factory).
I'm not sure if he will respond to any questions, however he can be found at www.baronconsult.com
Good luck,
Charles

the link you provided is to a very very similar set of chairs...sweeeet. John Kapel would make sense. More investigation required.

and the winner is
"designed by Stewart MacDougall for Glenn of California, and has been verified by the designer. Both designers worked for Glenn around the same time period."
Stewart MacDougall.
I have always seen these attributed to John Kapel. Nice guy at Robollo who is selling a set provided the above.
How cool is that?
