To be found in Warren McArthur’s catalog from 1936, this lounge chair is comprised of a light weight anodized aluminum frame and a green seating surface, made of of sail cloth webbing. Known as the “Tennis Chair” or Style No. 612 this chair was produced shortly before the factories were switched to producing lightweight seats for American bombers. It is therefore rare.
