[NJARC] Off-topic: WTB: chrome dinette

[Matt Reynolds]

All,

It's a bit off-topic, and apologies in advance, but i imagine some of you can help me out. I've lived in my new house about a year and a half now, and have yet to find a dinette set I want. I've been trying to style my kitchen/dining room with a retro 50s style.  I've been trying to find one of those mid century chrome and formica tables with the boomerang pattern you usually see in diners and ice cream parlors, along with the old vinyl split back chairs.

The formica boomerang pattern I'm interested is the following:

The red boomerangs on white are my preference, but I'm open to other colors.

The chairs I'm interested in look like this:

They don't have to be that exact style, but similar would be ideal. Red first choice, blue if the table matched.


Many of you in the club may have had similar sets in your parents' (yours?) house. Many of you also appreciate 50s culture and may know where I could track a set down. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've been looking for about a year now, and haven't found what I want yet! I'd rather buy a vintage one if possible, but may resort to a "retro" copy soon.

Apologies for being off topic. If you have any leads, contact me off-list.  Thanks!
