This chair was listed on eBay as being a Hunzinger. I'm not totally convinced. Other than having brass casters, there does not seem to be anything remotely similar to his other furniture. The seller did not show images of a Hunzinger mark. The piece sold for $600 at a live auction.
I own a pair of chairs that match this one in every detail. I have seen 4 other examples on Ebay in the last 5 years only one differing in that it had claw feel. I have seen them attributed to everyone from Hunzinger to Herter Bros. I feel they are midwest in origin, purhaps for the hotel or fraternal lodge trade? Any idea's anyone?
