EAMES 1ST "Ankle Breaker" Experimental Base Herman Miller RAR Zenith Rope Edge Rocking Chair RARE. Belonged to my dad. NOT AN EXPERT, but from my research I'm pretty sure this is a very early design nicknamed the "Ankle Breaker" Base. This was not made for long. Not sure if it was the experimental base or not.
