white cup, flat on one side with hole on that side (my great-grandfather used this as a shaving mug and used the hole to hang it on a nail, has young Woodrow Wilson's photograph on two sides, on side opposite of flat side is a symbol that looks like a 4 leaf clover, grooved bottom.
I spotted this chair while shopping in a small town in northern Maine. The adjustable seat height is what first caught my attention as I have never seen the design before. Upon closer inspection I noted that the back rest is also adjustable both vertically and horizontally. The back rest itself is also on a pivot to maintain contact with your back. The owner accepted an offer of $25. I showed it to an 87 year old friend of mine who is fine cabinet maker and craftsman of over 70 years. He stated (while excitedly inspecting and adjusting the chair) that he had only ever seen 1 before and then only in a photo. He said it was in "wonderfull" condition and would gladly take it off my hands for far more than I paid if it was for sale. Sadly he could not tell me anything as far as where, when, who or why about the chairs design and history. I would be very gratefull for any and all information anyone may have concerning this odd little chair.
This little amber glass bottle has little bubbles all through the glass. It says ball and claw bitters on both sides of the bottle. It is about two inches tall. There are no distinguishing marks or dates on it. We found it burried near an old ghost town along the old pony express trail near the Nevad border.
