Where were herman miller eames side shells manufactured?  

Yes, Those are the ones. The logo is the same on both chairs, and it's a bit easier to see on one of them.. Thanks for any help.

Sorry
The pics are too far away and too grainy to discern anything. Ask for a closeup if you can...

Summit rocker - dates?
I just acquired a butterscotch-colored Eames RAR rocker produced by Summit. Does anyone know approximately when Summit started to make the chairs for HM and when they stopped producing them? I am trying to date the chair.

Dining side chairs Eames - Zenith?
Hi i have some eames shell chairs that i'm renewing.
And i'd like to know when they're from and who they were built by.
DINING SIDE CHAIRS:
The 4 chairs are yellow / honey
Here are the embossment under the chairs:
HERMAN MILLER + LOGO
"S" in a circle
"Ba"
"Z" between the 2 back shockmounts
STAMPED:
numbers: 026152
"CZ" stamped in a circle
Can someone help on that?
Does the "Z" means Zenith plastics?
I was told that "penetrol" is a good product to renew fiberglass does anyone knows how to use it and if it's really good?
Thanks in advance

Strange that no one posted this six months ago...
Fingerhut, Sol M.
December 16, 1922 - December 23, 2009
Sol M. Fingerhut (Sonny) was an innovator and pioneer in the composites industry. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio and received his BS in Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering from the Case School of Applied Science (now Case Western Reserve) in 1944. As a young engineer, he developed innovations in fiberglass for an aircraft wing in WWII, an amphibious sea plane, worked in the research labs of Owens-Corning, and invented the fiberglass preform process. He moved to California in 1949 where he developed the process to make molded fiberglass chairs in collaboration with Charles Eames. Sol co-founded Century Plasics in 1966 where he developed innovative composite fiberglass products for the aerospace, wind energy, medical equipment and Homeland Security markets. At the age of 79, Sol invented the lightweight blast resistant cargo container known as the Hardened Unit Load Device (HULD) for commercial aircraft. Sol will be remembered for his courage, wisdom, creativity, integrity, kindness and his generosity to family, friends and employees.
He is survived by Muriel Wels Fingerhut, his wife for 61 years, his children Ellen Fingerhut Whittier and Rick Fingerhut, and his grand-children Daniel and Dina Fingerhut. A scholarship fund will be established at the Case School of Engineering in his honor.

so i was told...
to look at this forum to figure out the age of my shell chair, but there hasnt been a single conversation about Cincinatti Milicron on here
(Cincinatti Milicron) what do we know about it? when did it start and end?
thanks

dude, did you even search?...
dude, did you even search? or did you just click the link lunchbox gave you? (if that's all you did, stop being lazy) and did you try google? There's enough information on the web. I just did a search on Cincinatti Milicron five minutes ago, so please don't say there's no info online. Eames office is also another great resource. Good luck!

I used the search function...
I used the search function provided on this forum and 'milicron' provided several matches.
It's as easy as prying the base off of an Eames shell.
