I have still have 2 to touch up
then I will be selling these.
which brings up a question
Other than eBay and Craigslist, where else could I list these? I mean, these are rather high end items! eBay works, but it is a bit skeevy at times.

a couple of lamps
I just got two of these lamps marked Italy, probably Raymor. They weren't cheap but they were not nearly as pricey as the one on 1stDibs right now, so ha! I LOVE THEM. Now I get to find just the right shades for them.
They're about 18" high and have four very rounded sides.

A little Lax
Went for a long walk to blow off some steam and some pizza eating fat, learning baking does have its downsides...someone else was in the shop looking for good stuff but I nabbed this before them, there was also a nice set of Rosti bowls but I have enough of them and the rubber was perishing on them. $18.00 not too bad. Kangaroo, veges and red wine casserole (with pastry) for dinner. Gonna teach myself how to make Danish pastries, first I have to reduce my apricots in syrup, cooking is so much fun! I never knew, and cheap, my shopping list reads like a ration book, amazing what you can do with cheap stuff and the basics.
The smell of apricots, boiling sugar and lemon juice...why wasn't I told?

aha
I saw one of those yesterday! Cream colored I think, but I thought it was too pricey. Then again, I am a cheap $@#%$^, so take that into account

No Picture Zone
OK, was at a thrift store today and saw an interesting chair. I will take pictures tomorrow, but does the following SOUND Danish or no?
Tall ladderback chair in oak. The seat strapping is that Threaded wire (looks almost like a stove's heating elements). Did anyone OTHER than the danish do that? Unmarked, of course. I will take pics on Monday. If it is danish it's older. Somewhat Craftsmen in style.
I know, I feel like an idiot even as I type this.

but, to make amends
I am about to go buy 6 Brno chairs for $150. HIDEOUSLY upholstered, but that won't be my problem...
PICS ADDED
Strapping looks original. Obviously re-upholstered. I see Grey Vinyl underneath.
I am sure they are not original, but the strapping looks vintage. I know others have made versions of the same basic chair.
Attribution may be tough!
Still, $150 for 6 works for me.

.
With some good leather or fabric they will be fine chairs, I don't think though that they are quite as pleasing as the knoll chair, the tube should have a slight 'intuitive' curve at the front leg. I read somewhere that Mies considered a straight line but decided against it in the end.
Anyway, I prefer these to the flat bar version which is ridiculously heavy.

yes
I have seen this exact chair attributed to Knoll, but that does not seem to be right to me. They are Vintage judging by the tubing and the strapping. Wish to heck they were marked somehow (will keep searching).
