Description

We purchased these chairs at an antique mall in Rapid City, SD in the early 1990's.  We don't remember what we paid for these.  The carving on the top rail looks like a laughing ram.  There are five chairs and all would need to be sturdied up a bit.  One chair has a broken leg that would need to be repaired.
