    I don't know anything about these chairs, other than what is posted and pict'd above. Trying to find out their value, and history. Thanks.

      moxyroxy17, Somebody else posted some Biano Manufacturing Co. chairs here:

      https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/315069-bianco-mfg-co-bentwood-dining-chair

      It looks like the Bianco Manufacturing Company is gone:

      https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_mo/00084406

      Google Maps/Street View doesn't show anything like it at that 2736 Victor Street address in St. Louis (it looks like it's currently occupied by a greenhouse, and open-air crops of some kind):

      2736 Victor St, St. Louis, MO 63104

      https://maps.app.goo.gl/nzbCb1bW2GMRATsx5

      Here's an obituary for the company founder:

      PhilDMorris' jocular comment notwithstanding, valuation isn't done here at Collectors Weekly Show & Tell:

      What’s appropriate on Show and Tell?

      Show & Tell is a place where you can share your favorite vintage items and antiques with visitors to CollectorsWeekly.com, whether it’s a piece from your collection, something cool you saw while out picking, or a collectors event you’ve recently attended. While an item’s value can certainly be a part of the conversation, Show & Tell is mostly a forum for communicating with other users to learn more about the pieces you own.

      If you’re looking for an item’s value, check out ValueMyStuff rather than posting it on Show & Tell.

      *snip*

      https://www.collectorsweekly.com/answer-desk/whats-appropriate-on-show-and-tell

      I honestly don't think I'd recommend that you check out ValueMyStuff, because it isn't free, and it might cost you more than the appraised worth of the chairs.

      Whoops, I guess I should have shown the last known address for the St. Louis Chair Company (formerly the Bianco Manufacturing Company):

      314 N Broadway, St. Louis, MO 63102
