These chairs seem identical in design and color to those used in at least one of the "Pride of Texas" Sunset Limited coffee shop cars after they were remodeled to diner-lounges for use on the Cascade, City of SF and Sunset in the late 1960s. See the color photo on page 437 of Vol. 4, Dining Service Cars (SP Historical & Technical Society, 2010).

These chairs did have a recessed handle on the seatback, and as has been pointed out, the photos on Craigs List do not show the backs of the chairs.

Regards,
Rich Tower
