[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 310146, member: 51"]Don't post too often in furniture, but these were at my thrift yesterday, just out and really not expensive. When I saw the Drexel stamp, decided to get them. Stamped 3 times on base -- each stamp reads "Curtis Products, Inc. Reproductions of American Colonial Furniture, Ashburnham, Mass." Assuming these are 1960's plus or minus. Gold stamp on bottom, "Exclusively for Drexel" along with the Curtis Productions name. Are these techically "Drexel" chairs? Not a huge fan of American Colonial, but Drexel furniture seems to be pretty collectible these days (did a quick Ebay search, wow!) Have to say that these chairs are really well made and are kind of growing on me. They are quite heavy as well. Do you call this style "Hitchcock?" Photo has a bit of a fish-eye look making one chair look smaller, but they are identical. Thanks for taking a look.
