Eames bar stools swivel
I'm thinking possible Eames. Chair is fiberglass with a swivel base. There is an ink stamp on the bottom. Appears to be a date of 1947. 2 of the chairs have damaged to the edge of the fiberglass.
I am a realtor in Michigan. I bought a house that had been in the same family since it was Built-in the forties. I bought the contents of the house with the house. These 4 bar stools were in the attic.

36 in high to the top of the back of the chair, 17 in wide seat, 13 in from the back of the chair to the front of the chair. I am curious how we know it is an Eames? I am [;anning on selling them and I am sure I will be asked? Where is the best place to sell?
If these were really by Eames, they would likely have a factory label. The value is based on these being "style of" or "in the manner of" and not "made by" or "attributed to."
If these had a label or more documentation (receipt of sale etc), the value for the set would have been 2 or 3 times as high.
If you've marked these as "for sale," they are now visible to people browsing our marketplace and you can sell them here. EBay or other broad public-forum marketplaces are also good places to sell on.
I don't think the stencil refers to the date, rather an inventory or model number. A mid-20th Century date on these is fine
