Are they or aren’t they?

I spotted what appears to be a row of Eames Molded Plastic Chairs in a Laundromat in Boston’s Beacon Hill neighborhood. What do you think, are they Eames? If you live near Charles Street (and are doing laundry), see if there’s a stamp or anything under the seat. I was going to do that after I went to the Paramount (best breakfast in Beacon Hill) but then I forgot to circle back.

Interesting, but those are not Eames molded plastic chairs. Similar shape, but different in many respects, plus the base is not an Eames base.

See http://www.eamesoffice.com/vintage/worksheet_detail.php?id=44

For the Eames side shell, which did not change from its introduction in 1951-1952.

Stay tuned on the www.vintage-eames.com pages, we'll be posting more and more, and eventually every edition of authentic Eames designs.
