Deal of the Day
$15. Acquired another Gunlocke chair, this time circa 1940's. It's got all the great qualities of my jury chair (sturdy, smooth, unbelievably comfortable) but it's a little curvier and fits with my desk better.
The man who sold it to us said that it was his grandfather's office chair when he worked for the Delmarva Power and Light company on the Eastern Shore. This surprised me since it seemed like he was suddenly selling a piece of family history....and very cheaply too...
Then he gloomily said that he really loves the chair except that it doesn't fit his wife's taste. Poor guy. I felt kind of bad for taking it from him but he seemed glad that I was so excited about it.
