Eames Era White Molded VIKO Chair by Baumritter

I found this chair outside a Salvation Army near the donation pile. I ask an employee outside if they could price it. She said "No, thats property of Salvation army". I explained to her that I wasn't going to take it from the pile, I wanted to purchase it. Then she said "No you don't understand, we sit on it during breaks". She told me it had been sitting there for at least 2 years, under an overhang, and I could ask the store manager is she would sell it. I found the store manager and she said I could have it for $1.99.  The molded plastic seat was very dirty, and had dust and mildew on it. I brought it home, put it in the shower, and scrubbed it down with soft scrub. Vwalla! It's beautiful again
