A small number of these RCA Victor advertising chairs were given or sold to RCA distributors, studios, and showrooms. My grandfather owned a tv and radio repair shop. He learned his trade as a radio operator in WWII. These chairs have been treasured by my family ever since.

Chromcraft was originally named American Fixture and Manufacturing Company and began business in Missouri in 1908. In 1939 they began making metal furniture. Since chrome was the material of the age, they named that division Chromcraft and later incorporated it as a separate company in 1955. By 1960 needing to expand they constructed a plant in Senatobia, Mississippi. Changing hands and consolidating with other companies they remained in business until 2014. In 2015 their assets were purchased, and they once again began production. Chromcraft is best known for its fabulous mid-century dinette sets. See less
