That tag is a France and sons emblem also. Hell of a find in a dump!

The stuff I find thrown away - you guys would not believe! I have been looking further into it. To me it seems to look a lot like a 116 and the 117 but mine differs in two ways: 1: The one I have is assembled with visible "screws". 2: I am pretty sure that it is teak all the way not just the armrests.
Thanks for your help!

This would be the second time I've seen earlier hidden knock down connectors being replaced with visible screws in France and Søn production.  The other example is a Bwana chair.  
There aren't many of these Kindt-Larsen chairs/sofas out there, but the ones I've seen have all been from earlier, with France and Daverkosen labels.  
Finally, I imagine there could have been the idea that a solid teak chair would be more desirable to customers, which would be more in line with the majority of chairs on the Danish market. 
So, in sum, I suspect that France and Søn attempted to increase sales of the chair by changing it to solid teak, and simplified the construction at the same time.

Another thing that suggests that this is a "facelifted" model, is that it has only got one rail in the middle of the back. As far as I recall, i've only seen the version with two rails in the back before.
I know France & Son did the opposite with Wanschers 166 series, where they added an extra rail in the back.

Why have you got it for sale as Wanscher?

Thank you for your time.
 
I had it listed as a Wanscher because two "experts" independently told me it was a Wanscher. I have fixed it now and will put it up correctly 😉
