All from the same seller - I'm thinking about the chrome one ($35)

Dashes, there's gold in them there hills--
The second chair appears to be a 'Falcon' chair, designed by Sigurd Resell.
(The proportions look sort of strange in the photo, though-- maybe it's just the angle.)

WHC - yes, thanks
they're asking $300 for that one, and they mention that it's a Falcon

I don't see
why this collection has to be labeled as "crap." The first chair, a lounge without its cushions, is unknown to me, but seems well designed. Note the triangulation of the frame at the rear, the seat back completing a strong junction of three members that should keep the frame rigid in the front-to-rear direction of movement.
That's a nice-looking tubular armchair with its original leather -- Breuer, I assume ?

SDR, it's tongue in cheek, for those who know me
I like browsing CL for (what some others here consider) "crap" - I'm still learning to distinguish. So it's best if I just flat out call it all crap. 🙂
As for that chair, yeah, that's the one I'm interested in but it's got a significant stain on it.
It looks like one of these Mart Stam chairs:

Oh, and that lounge frame without the cushions
that's a Heywood Wakefield -- I can imagine it being an early Rohde, it's got that deco look. Or, it could be much more recent than that. But for $75...

Dashes --
Gotcha -- I'm learning !
Yeah, that seems to be the same chair as the Mart Stam ones. Would look right at home in a Mies, Corbu (?) or Knoll interior. . .?s

I informed the guy that he...
I informed the guy that he had a Falcon chair, and it's a nice one too. The pink rope-edge Eames bucket isn't a bad deal either...I've seen those go for $800 or more. Not sure what he means by "faded in spots", but if I had the dough, I'd go have a look.
