Can i have your thoughts on westfalia stools please ?.

I quite fancy one now.

 

Have a look at this. 120 quid. For a bit of wood, steel and foam? And a repro too.

And a well used original for £110. Blimey, Malc got a good deal.

But the repro ones say they're 100% identical. Who cares what you bought. You got a half price bargain whatever it was mate.

 

Bargain, would be interested to see what the og material is under the later check stuff , my money is its a earlybay mustard non fabric vinyl

 

Great find and buy, well done! Pretty sure it will come in handy! ;D

 

Not an expert, my new one is repro....the pattern looks the same as my interior, but haven't done the magnifying glass thing, in check.

The only thing I can see it doesn't have is a leather strap that the original had to hold it in place (on Westy Malagas, there is a small plastic d shape hoop to thread the strap through, low down in the bottom cupboard under the sink).

The original was in check cover on mine.

 

the later check material is original just later 70`s , i read that the original 60`s cover was underneath ?? if it is late 60s it has to be mustard vinyl and early gay ... they did them all years and all covers
but a cracking buy whatever it is .... mines original and not as nice as that and is the mustard/yellow fabric ...

 

i got a frame for a buddy seat i was gonna refurb and put a cover on.
But made this instead.

well 60 quid is good wether repro or not . mine has a date sticker on the base and a leather strap . what is the date on your ladel ? 60`s ? if it has never been used and 40 years old they wouldn`t have recovered it and i`m sure thats a mid 70`s fabric .. I`ll post a few pics of mine if you want ?

 

ooooo, , thats a difficult one, it is certainly looking to new to be an original one.

Does it have a stored in the loft for 40 years smell to it?

Would of expected to of seen some signs of the old vinyl/ fabric being taken of or still under it if it was original.

It was cheap even for a repro one, however if its not original as stated in the ad then you have grounds for complaint and being sold a misleading product. Whether they will try to say they had no reason to believe it wasn't original I don't know. You would then need prove to show why it isn't.

 

Not at all! Oh the joys of > bay.

Just at times we can't seem to do without it! :
