Have sticker or labels ever been faked? I would imagine everything has been faked at some time. I do not believe this label has been faked and I imagine the chair is genuine. Unfortunately the shock mounts failed at some point and instead of properly repairing them they were drilled and screws were put through the wood panels. I have no way of knowing how good of a deal the trade would be.
As usual, I do appreciate the measured feedback from designaddict fellows. Being somewhat of a furniture noob, I hadn't realized when I posted this, the shockmount failure common problem. I was wondering why those eyesore bolt heads were present.
Designaddict helps so much with the homework, figuring the ins and outs of these vintage pieces.
I do love the chairs and I think the lines are beautiful. But I won't be able to look at those bolt-heads without the "I wish those weren't there" feeling every time.
Hoping the seller has some non-drilled that I can at least repair sans drill.
