Steel Gliders

Flea Market Finds With The Kovels : Episode FMF-212 -- More Projects »

Host Terry Kovel discovers steel porch gliders from the 1940s and '50s at the Renninger's Antique & Farmers Market. These gliders have sparked a new decorating trend with New York City interior designers, and they're pretty reasonable in price. A two-seat glider is $250, and a three-seat glider is $350.

Metal porch gliders are making a big comeback. Made from from pressed steel in the 1940s to the 1960s, they range in price from $200 to $300, depending on the size and pattern. This one sells for $225.

This larger, unfinished version sells for $275.

Glider chairs feature single-seat gliding and can run anywhere from $30 to $75. This blue, steel-strapped chair is tagged at $50.

Steel tubular chairs sell for less than steel-strapped chairs because they're not as comfortable.
