Mid century Bar Stools for Sale

We have for sale a set of swiveling hair pin leg mid century bar stools. These were originally manufactured by the Dee Manufacturing Company. They are a matched pair and 30” tall from floor to top of seat. I completely sandblasted the legs and repainted them with a black and silver flake auto paint. When they hit the light the silver has a nice sparkle! New feet and hardware were added. They are ready to go. Pickup in Rockford or shipping can be arranged. $100 OBO for the pair, will not split the pair up.

Great read!

The faded advertisements on old brick buildings are disappearing fast, so one artist is shining a light on what they say about a city’s history.
