I found these mid century metal lawn chairs at an antique store yesterday. I bought the rounded back one first. This morning I took my coffee out on my deck and sat in my new old chair and and thought, this chair needs its fellow old chairs on my deck. I told myself, to heck with plastic molded chairs I have. I want mid century coolness on my deck. So at noon I drove back down wishing nobody else had purchased them, and with luck they were still there. So I bought the matching pair.
One of them is a rocker, but they all kind of bounce. I really like the fiesta orange color but the blue one probably should be painted. I've been looking for some of these for the longest time. I suspect they are from the 1940s, but they've been painted a few times. I think the original color on the pair was green seat and back with white arm rails. I might paint the pair but I'm going to leave the single one with the rounded back just the way it is.

Those chairs are cool! I love that they sort of bounce a little bit. Wait to paint them, we could do that together. :)
Ok, I might have my neighbor put a couple of spot welds on the pair.
that's probably a good idea, if you think they need it
They don't really need it but the seat and the back are held together by interlocking tabs. Be good to put a spot weld at each end.
