Welsh Company baby chair - Welsh Playmate

Description

My husband and I bought a house that is over 100 years old about 2 months ago.  Apparently, nobody thought to check the attic before selling it, because there is a lot of stuff up there...all of it but this chair remains unexplored because I don't have a ladder and I stood on top of a dresser to pop my head in there.  The chair was within my reach, so I pulled it down.

It is in excellent condition other than being very dirty, I have not cleaned it off yet as I just pulled it down about an hour ago. 

The chair is constructed of metal, and has these metal springs to make it bouncy.  The seat is red and says Welsh Playmate on it.  There is a tray-type thing made out of the same red material in the front, and a metal rod going across with colored beads on it.
