Assuming you're close to NYC, this option will most likely allow you to view it in person.

I have one of those in my basement. I bought about 11 years ago from a Ron Oser auction. Mine is really nice. I think I paid $6,500 for it. The one in Mastro's auction brought about 19K I believe in total. There are reproductions out there, but if you can afford the orginal one, I would sure try and get one of those. You could add the matching couch which is a big set of red lips call the "Marilyn". How approriate is that? I will try and snap a photo tomorrow when I am home so you can take a look. I am not interested in selling mine though. Sorry.

Yeah that sounds great. I would love to see some pictures of the chair and sofa. So did the Marilyn sofa come out in the 1970s also?
Thanks,

I know you say you don't want to sell but being in Topeka you're less than 2.5 hours away from me. You could have cash in hand with the chair in the bed of my truck At least give it a thought

So, I guess that means you're not exactly convenient to Midtown? That's what I get for assuming.

HMMMM. Well I guess money does talk. I don't really want to sell, but if you are thinking Mastro money, we could work something out. I remember when I purchased from Oser, they didn't have the chair in PA, it was actually in a storage unit in Van Nuys, CA and I had to have mail boxes etc, go and get and build a shipping crate to send it. I do love it. I remember when my son who is 11 now was just a little guy he wanted so bad to get in that chair and sit but he couldn't quite get into it. One day I watched him get a running start and he made it up into the chair. He sat in it for the next two hours. I think he was afraid he woudn't be able to get back in it again and was getting the most out of the experience. LOL. It hasn't been set in much since then.
