Morning all!
I just picked up a tulip table and 4 chairs in damn near perfect shape. It's not Knoll and I don't see any markings whatsoever on any of the pieces. I'm trying to find a 5th chair to seat the family. I was thinking it was a Burke set, but those are usually marked. Any ideas of who else made these?

The chairs look like this:

They are Burke
You can tell by the chevron in the back of the chair.

Thanks! Now, to hunt 1 more down. I got the table and chairs for $50, I'll probably spend 3x that for a single chair.

Do Burke armless chairs also have the chevron?
I've been trying to identify my chairs - the are the armless kind, have no markings, but have the chevron. I actually just picked up 2 more from Craigslist for $60 total.
I guess mine are Burke too?
You got a good deal on your set.
I have spent $160 so far and have 4 armless chairs, 2 eames shells with tulip bases, and a tulip table. All in awful condition but are being refinished and look very cute, so far.

The armless shells
do not have the chevron. However, if you look carefully on the back and bottom, there will be tiny little fish shapes embossed in the fiberglass. They are very hard to see. Strange, but true.
