Distinguishing marks
"Milwaukee Chair Co. Patent Applied For" is stamped on the chair's base.

Good
Date Period
Pre-1914. As far as I can tell from online research, the company received a patent in 1914.
History
I found it at an estate sale while I was in college in Chico, CA circa 1998. It was donated to a yard sale that was held for charity, and it wasn't sold, so the sale curator gave it to me just to get it off her lawn.

Re: Milwaukee Chair Company office chair
Swivel chairs of this type were made from the late quarter of the 19th century right up until World War Two, and unless the are of an unusal design or by a noted designer most like yours sell for less than $75.00 i9 "As Is" condition.
