The chair was my Grandparents and was likely purchased in Lowell Massachusetts in the 1960s. I'm not sure of the manufacture as there are no distinct markings. There are limited pictures of similar chairs online. The only similar chairs I've seen are described as being made by Stansberry? The only marking is a green stamp on the bottom board that after close inspection appears to read Jun 25 19??. The tufted green vinyl is in good shape for the age. There is one small crack on the sitting area in a crease and is not obvious upon first inspection. All buttons are intact. The frame is solid wood and has a sunburst accent on the sides. There are some surface blemishes on the wood.

Hi Steven,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
This chair is a bit perplexing - it looks very much like Midcentury Modern (circa 1950s-60s) ones I've found online by a "Stansberry" - you may have seen the same website but an internet search hasn't turned up anything on that company. I HAVE found a company named "Stansbury" that was based in California in the 1980s that was making similar furniture...but this looks like it was made prior to the 1980s and your description backs that up.
Do you mind if I reach out to a friend I have who is a specialist in mid 20th Century furniture to see if they can provide any more specific information? It won't cost anything extra for the second opinion but might take more time...can you let me know if that's OK?
Thanks to confirm,
Delia
