Subject:Wooden stools
Posted By: mk Sat, Sep 24, 2016 IP: 90.206.71.161

I have come across these stools in an old basement and am unsure if they have any value. Tips on what i should be looking for would be appreciated

Small stools or plant stands of similar form, with and without the stone inserts, were common fare in local furniture outlets and U.S. military exchange stores on Vietnam-era bases around East and Southeast Asia during the third quarter of the 20th century. They also were available to British and Yank personnel in sales rooms of the now long-gone Royal Navy Fleet Club in Hong Kong. Lacking any other signs of age, yours may be from circa that era. Here's a photo of one of a pair I bought from an American Armed Forces Exchange Catalog circa that time.

Best regards,

Bill H.

Thank you very much for the information. Can I ask how much you bought yours for?
