This chair has2 stamps on it, 1 stamp is a S for small childs chair and 2nd stamp for the makers which is the Mealings Bros LTD with Patent 127224. Chair is all wood with one metal strip under seat with 3 old steel screws. The chair also has shelf under seat for bible and a flat piece of wood on the top of the back for leaning on to pray if a person was behind it. Very neat chair made between 1880-1926. Not sure what kind of wood it is, but maybe elm or beech wood. All I need to know is the value of chair please, Chris Bless

History
Looked on UK ebay and found several adult sizes pretty close to this one, but did not see one child size, so starting to beleive its very rare! Looked everywhere on line in US and did find even one that is close! The shelf underneath seat dates at around 100 yrs old for sure, after that time makers put a slot on back of chairs, even true to today!
