Hi there!

I recently acquired an early Knoll Womb Chair and Ottoman, however both are missing some of the screws for the frames. Anyone know where I could get replacements? Also, here's a photo of the tag. Can anyone help me narrow down it's age? Thanks in advance!

Nice find, Phil!

Post pics of existing screws and of the entire chair, perhaps?

And here it is after a thorough cleaning. I don't have any pictures of the screws right now, but can post some later.

You've certainly done a nice job cleaning the set. Looks fantastic considering its age and as-found condition.

Remove a couple of remaining screws and post a closeup or two (maybe get a ruler in there, too). Shouldn't be too hard to identify or find acceptable replacements...

Oh, and that "law label" is from before zip codes, so there's a clue.

That is a clue! So pre-1963. I haven't gotten around to getting a screw out to look at closely yet. One other question, does anyone know the dimensions of the ottoman cushion, or have you seen a pattern for one?
