Cane Back Chair
« on: August 21, 2012, 12:48:49 am »
Last one for me tonight. There are a couple of these cane back chairs in my apartment. I've looked very thoroughly on one and I can't see a single marking, but I admit I am notoriously bad at looking for things like this. I have also gone all over the internet to find one but there are a billion chairs that are kinda like this and they all just kind of blend together. I can tell you that under the chair at the front there is a Robertson screw. At least it is square and I'm in Canada so I assume it's a Robertson screw.

Looks like 1970s, probably not worth a bundle.

Agree with mart, need to see a pic of the underside for construction.
