I'm confused. I thought that stuff was all vintage. Do they actually sell it new today as well?

Not that I know of....

However, if you like the look/ tapered lines, you can find great quality McCobb's work fairly cheep on Ebay. Now and then, you can find it cheep via garage sales and antique dealers too. I especially like his coffee table, book shelf (iron and wood) and side board - clean, simple and not too distracting. Looks great with modern re-makes of yesterday.

love mccobb. i tend to favor his wood/cane/metal/stone pieces for calvin.

even got me looking at brass again.

they are on ebay regularly - well below 1st dibs prices - though rarely cheap.
