These are genuine Emeco barstools — not a knockoff. Emeco is the original manufacturer of the Navy Chair, designed in 1944 for the U.S. Navy and still hand-built today in Hanover, PA, using the same 77-step process (forming, welding, tempering, anodizing).
They’re in excellent condition. The current retail price for two of these stools is $1890.
Retailers like Crate & Barrel and CB2 sell licensed/inspired versions for $300–400+ each. These are the real, labeled originals, stamped “EMECO INDUSTRIES, INC.” on the frame and tagged with the Emeco USA label on the underside.
Solid brushed aluminum construction — lightweight but nearly indestructible, non-corrosive, and built for a lifetime of use (Emeco backs these with a 150-year design life). Iconic mid-century industrial silhouette with the signature slatted back and scooped seat.
