1930's-40's Heywood Wakefield Chrome Bar Stool

Chrome-plated tubular steel bar stool with round, padded, swivel seat, made by Lloyd Mfg. Co., a division of Heywood Wakefield Company, in Menominee, Michigan, circa 1930's - 1940's. Marshall B. Lloyd patented seamless welding, a process for making modern tubular steel furniture. His company, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, was purchased by Heywood Wakefield in 1921. This stool is a classic tubular steel design. It measures approximately 31 inches high. Four curved legs are welded in place to an interior tubular ring and an exterior tubular ring. The exterior ring, the widest part of the stool, measures approximately 15.5 inches in diameter. The bottom ends of the legs are capped with steel. The tubular leg construction is attached to a steel plate on the wooden underside of the seat by a large iron nut and cotter pin. The seat frame appears to be wood and steel. According to the original Do Not Remove This Tag label, the cushion consists of springs, cotton waste (25%), cotton linters (40%), and sisal pads (35%). The stool is in good to very good condition. The construction is solid and the stool is very sturdy. The chrome legs show surface wear but have shined up quite well. The seat swivels easily and its construction is sound. The upholstery is intact but shows wear and age. Please refer to the 4 photographs for appearance and condition. Shipping / packaging will be $32 - $60, depending on the zipcode of the buyer.
