Description
It is a very comfortable desk chair with backrest. Heavy springs make it possible to lean back, yet provide firm support for your back because of the tightness of the springs. There are workings to raise the seat. The chair rotates freely. Wood base; heavy metal workings; wood frame back; metal castings w/ ball bearings for the wheels - probably hard rubber wheels. The wood has lost it's lacquer sheen, but the wood is in good shape.
155 is stamped in white paint on the bottom of the chair along with other paint markings that are illegible.
Note the logo label in picture.
Re: Milwaukee Chair Company Office Chair
Office cahirs of this type were made from just after World War One to the mid 1950's. The earlier varieties tended to be construced of oak, later examples like this one were made of maple or birch. Values for them are modest , at auction many sell for less than $50.00.
