Theo Koch Barber Chair

By Susan Parks, 22 January, 2010
Description

The chair came out of a barber shop in Van Horn, Texas that closed and sat in a barn for several years in the El Paso area before I purchased it. The chair was complete with headrest, footrest, and ashtray which can be moved to either arm. Also had a a child's booster seat that fits on top of the arms. The hydraulics work correctly.

Any idea what the chair might be worth in case I do decide to sell?

The market for old Barber chairs peaked in the 1990's, what you could get for yours depends a lot on the style of it. Without an image we can tell you much regarding potential values in the current market.
