LCW worth $150,000  

Even Herman Miller doesn't know their own sh#t...
They call it "an original Eames Molded Plywood Lounge Chair from 1946."
Clearly it's not.

Biggest Bull shit story of the year !!!! and Fox gets it!
Old chair tops $800.00 on a good day
The producer researcher fact checker must be in high school. Love the anchor must be really stupid.

What's really puzzling to me...
What's really puzzling to me is that they bought the chair, used the chair, threw it in the garage, and almost donated it to goodwill, and THEN they discovered the tag on the bottom saying it was a Herman Miller chair. Isn't that one of the very first things anybody does when considering an antique purchase? FInd a label or a stamp or something that identifies it?

They bought it for $5 at a yard sale.

I've...
Had 3 people walk in my shop in the last week who have asked me 'did the hear about the $150,000 Eames chair?'. I have 3 LCW's and happily offered them for $10k each (joking of course).

I know they got it at the yard sale for $5. Still, anything I ever buy form a yard sale, a thrift shop, or any sort of junk store, I search for any kind of label and usually google it. It's not a big deal, I was just surprised it took them that long to make that discovery. That's all.

Oh, I see.
I misunderstood your post to mean that you were surprised that they didn't require an examination of the label before purchasing the chair.

That is a foil label doe...
That is a foil label does not mean all that much not even with Zenith across it.
It was one bull shit story made up by a really dumb fox news reporter, who believed a really dumb person who blew smoke up her butt.
More than likely it was a summer intern in in her freshman year who wrote the story, cause it was so unbelievable it went viral. That is more stupid than the story itself.

Oh whoops. I see how it...
Oh whoops. I see how it could be interpreted that way. I'm not so good at conversation on the internets. Haha
