old-school lawn chair please?

where can I find old-school lawn chairs? I want the folding aluminum ones with interwoven webbing seats- like your Grandpa had. New, used, online or brick and mortar (Northeast USA) are all options. Here is a refurbished example of what I'm looking for, although I'd prefer ones with the original glorious bright clashing colors.

eBay has quite a few. Search 'lawn chair' and 'vintage.'

I still see chairs like that at Rita-Aid, in the seasonal aisle.

I've seen them in Family Dollar and Dollar General. Try some discount stores like that.

Now that chocolate bunnies are gone, chairs like that will sprout in stores.

Northeast US? Building 19, Benny's, Big Lots, or Ocean State Job Lot.

You can even lounge in style, if you want.

If you are looking for the more old-timey style, give some local thrift stores a try. You might want to call ahead first to see if they have lawn chairs available and save yourself a trip.

Garage sales maybe.. If you don't see them there, ask. It won't hurt.
