Curbside Pickup
I was with my friends driving thought town on the way to pick apples. When we see what looks like a garage sale, and out in front is a molded plywood chair. I say "IS THAT A HERMAN MILLER CHAIR?". I whip the car to the side (the quality of the parking was questionable). We dash across the street. When we get there we see that it is not a garage sale, but these guys are clearing out a building, and throwing everything out!!!!!!!!! They said we could take whatever we wanted. Turns out it wasn't a herman miller chair, but a similar looking Plycraft chair designed by George Mulhauser. We also picked up a fiberglass Origami chair by Paul McCobb, a painting/montage by S.Hall(no idea who this is), and two midcentury modern rosewood and naugahyde bench/coffee tables/ottomans. Whoever originally bought this furniture had great taste.
