One unique vintage industrial riveted joint, heavy-gauge steel folding chair, in dark army green. Punched or stamped, featuring filigree designs on the contoured backrest and seats. The frames are a folded and pressed sheet metal design throughout. These particular chairs were purchased from my hometown school. They were used in the auditorium/cafeteria.

A little history of the Lyon company from Aurora, IL..

"Beverly Lyon Waters founded what was originally known as the Lyon Metallic Manufacturing Company in 1901, and was joined by his younger brother, Frank. By 1906, they had secured a large factory and office headquarters in Aurora, Illinois, which enabled them to mass-produce all manner of products fabricated from sheet steel. After merging with the Durand Steel Locker Company of Chicago in 1928, they changed the name to Lyon Metal Products Inc."

I love it! It’s exactly as pictured, was well packed and shipped quickly. I wish I had more space on front porch to put two, but one will have to do! So much character and I love the color so much - perfect accent to my little house. Recommend!

Love these. So much more interesting for party extra chairs than modern folding. Comfortable too.
