This piece was purchased my our friend's late mother from an Antique Store. It is not known what was paid for it. She, (Late Mom), believed it to be worth %5K. Nice pattern on the enamel stem of chair. The owner says that there are no tears in the leather, no chips in the enamel, but that the head rest is missing. No other parts missing. All of the functions are in working order. There is some light rust and owner says this chair cleans up nicely. Very little pitting if any. We would like to know the date and what it might be worth then, it will be put up for sale.
