Post by: ShawnInDallas on July 09, 2016, 11:33:19 AM

Hello,

Looking for any information available on this chair. I have 2. They both say. West Point Brown no. 1505.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

From the styling it looks like the Art Deco era, ca. 1920-1950. They might possibly be part of a dining set. The West Point stamp makes the chairs look institutional, but it could also simply be a style name for that particular manufacturer.  If the chairs ARE from West Point, I don't think it would make much difference for value, except maybe for an alumnus.

Unfortunately, chairs aren't as valuable as people think they should be. These would be about $30 each, depending on where in the country you are. Maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less.

The good news is that the vinyl can be taken off easily, and that reupholstry (if necessary) would be pretty easy as well.

I think that is a style name or a particular color name depending on how you read it !!   West Point, brown, or West Point brown !! 1505 is the order number !!  There are many companies that used West Point as a style name,,there is also a West Point Furniture company but they are retailers,,not sure if they are also mfrs !!
