  1. and BOOM, it is gone.

    Congratulations to whoever snagged this!
    I have a soft spot in my heart for East Village Eames furniture.
    On the same block, my block, in about 1997, iI found a 1952 seafood green SAX chair.

    Cheers, David

  2. It's too new looking to be the real deal and left on the street. Knock-off.

  3. Still, knock-off or not, I hope someone snagged both pieces. The waste in this city is gross.

  4. That was either a joke, or revenge.
