Saw this at SFMOMA yesterday. No identifying marks; the museum says it's "circa 1946".

It's a 4-2-4 LCW with a single shockmount, but the shockmount isn't lozenge-shaped like the others I've seen. Instead, it's almost square; it exactly fits the end of the chair's spine.

Was this shockmount shape common?

Not ballsy, just undignified.
I squatted down on the ground and reached up under the chair with my camera to see the screw pattern.
The museum has about a hundred chairs in their collection; there were a dozen wooden chairs on display with the LCW, including:
Alvar Aalto - Model 31
Frank Gehry - Cross Check
Campana brothers - Favela
Ray Komai - Model 939
Mark Naden - Topos
Nathan Lerner - Chair in a Box
Gerritt Rietveld - Zig Zag
Maarten Baas - Where There's Smoke Zig Zag
Marc Newson - Wooden Chair
