Better pics...
The old lady we bought it from said that her family had had it since she was very young, so I don't think it's from the '70s. She also mentioned that it was rare and/or by some special designer (I think she said some protege of Frank Lloyd Wright).
If it's just a non-designer production piece, I would have to think I'd be able to find similar ones on the 'net fairly easily. (For instance, I have a Gunlocke 2327USB, which I think is very common, and it was easy to locate pictures of others on the 'net.)
Before we restored it, it it had a burlap spring cover, with some black printing/emblem on it that was unreadable. It looked OLD.
We restored it because it was unusable otherwise. We bought it to use, not as an investment. It's very comfortable.
My wife does want to get rid of it because it's not practical, but I don't want to let go of it until I know what it is.
