Piedmont folding chair

[Leon]

I am not a Peidmont chair guy but the description says the sign on the chair is porcelain. I can't imagine a repro being that expensive material but again, I am not a chair guy, except when sitting in them.

Are the two chairs reproductions?

I have one and I feel pretty confident that both of those chairs are original. Not sure about the green paint job as I've not seen many with that look. Agree with Leon's comment about porcelain. My center piece on mine is porcelain and very nicely made. They must have made a LOT of them back in the day. Think I paid in the $100 +/- range for mine 10-15 years ago. It is pretty sturdy as well. Will hold me up...........

They are inexpensive and can be used, as well as make a nice display. Here is mine, and it has the writing on the side.

Thanks for the input!

I have four of these chairs. One had green paint on it but I stripped it off. It had the stenciled writing on the legs underneath the paint.
