Title: Shoots self in head. Post by: reverend_darth on October 18, 2012, 09:18:36 pm So my son made a post about an old school lounge chair that he thought was the bomb. I agreed. http://www.hermanmiller.com/products/seating/lounge-seating/eames-lounge-chair-and-ottoman.html (http://www.hermanmiller.com/products/seating/lounge-seating/eames-lounge-chair-and-ottoman.html) I told him I always loved this chair by Miller. http://www.novidecor.com/eames-plastic-molded-rocker-multiple-colors-1.html?gclid=CMuh9bLRi7MCFQsGnQod5UMANg (http://www.novidecor.com/eames-plastic-molded-rocker-multiple-colors-1.html?gclid=CMuh9bLRi7MCFQsGnQod5UMANg) Then I told him about a dining set that my parents bought back in the early 60s when they were shitting money that looked similar to the chair top. One of his geek friends jumped in and asked if they were this? http://www.surrounding.com/uploads/Products/ModernClassics/asset_upload_file608_1478.jpg (http://www.surrounding.com/uploads/Products/ModernClassics/asset_upload_file608_1478.jpg) Yes, exactly. The end chairs had arms, the center ones did not. Then he asked me if this was the table. http://www.novidecor.com/designers/designers-a-h/eero-saarinen/saarinen-tulip-table-78-inch-with-marble-top-2.html (http://www.novidecor.com/designers/designers-a-h/eero-saarinen/saarinen-tulip-table-78-inch-with-marble-top-2.html) Yes, exactly. So I looked on line and an original complete set like that would probably sell today for over $20 grand. DOH! It was before the internet. How the fuck would we know? It was just old funky shit. Probably sold it for a couple hundred bucks. BANG!

When I brought it to my fuckin brother's attention just out of curiosity, he's now he's pissed at me for bringing it up because he thinks he just took it to the curb. Guess he was a great executor or the "estate". |
