[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 167533, member: 85"]These chairs have been bothering me as was thinking 1970s. From the info I have found, these chairs are not from the 20's -30's. The label just indicates that laws were established in the 1920s/30s that mandated the way things were made, and the company followed those laws. It says Cemented Urethane Foam. This was not used until the late 60s. In fact the patent I found on it was for 1968. Polyurethane was indeed first made in the 30s, but not as seat cushions. This was a later product. After Brad commented, I did a little more digging and found this. The chairs look very similar to yours. Says they were purchased in 1968 (almost the 70s).
