While I don't know what these are worth I do know that these Koken chairs are becoming more and more rare. I was lucky enough to visit a barbershop here in LA a few days ago that still use these for all of their barbers. So, I would think just based on how rare these are becoming, particularly in larger metropolitan cities, that this is something definitely worth keeping and should increase in value as more and more of the old time barbershops are closing.

We have had a large number of Koken chairs appraised here on the forum and are in the archives. Most like this one tend to date from the 1920's through 40's. They tend to go in the $300.00- $600.00 range at auction these days.
