Crap...
No- not your chairs! I just cannot for the life of me remember where I've seen those before. Are they formed by like a single piece of plywood curved into a cone shape with the point cut off?

I wish that you could post a photo. These sound like a pair that I inquired about a while back. This pair was in a recording studio that I will never visit again (long story).
These chairs are pod shaped formed from walnut plywood. The interior is upholstered with a loose seat cushion (it might have had a loose back cushion too ... I can't remember). It also has the signature wood and metal swivel base. These chairs were marked Plycraft "designed by George Mulhauser."
They are insanely comfy and I love the swivel motion. I think these were not particularly popular. Even a google image search for "Plycraft" or "George Mulhauser" produces no results.
Photo?

This is almost like the chairs I was talking about. The ones I was referring to are not tufted. The upholstery that is attached is basically just a covering. Then there are two loose cushions. However, the chair seems to be exactly the same structurally. Very comfy. I much prefer the other version, but that's me. These were designed by George Mulhauser - who, in my opinion, has designed some very nice things. If you are unfamiliar with his work you should know that he also worked for George Nelson and associates, where he designed the famous Coconut chair. His work for Plycraft, although very nice in my opinion, is not very collectable. But it is very useable.

Well I'll be
those are so not the chairs I was thinking of. Maybe it was whitespikes original post, which sounds more like what I was thinking. Value on Plycraft of various shapes and sizes seems to be around the 2-$900 range. I've occasionally seen some of the Eames knock-offs go for more - but very rarely.
Eitherway, those are some fun chairs. I always think the amount of tufting on the cushions is hilarious.

Mulhauser
Some info posted above. Mulhauser does some nice stuff, but even his most famous piece: Mr. Chair, only goes for about 6-800$ I'd say yours would fetch anywhere from $50 - $250. Thats just a guess... you could try the 500 range and see what happens, but my guess is not much. Plycraft Cherner chairs are generally the highest - running around 1k for the armchairs. The Eames knockoffs next between 300-1000. Mr. Chair after that. Sorry - wish they were worth more for you, but they're fun chairs none the less!
