Description It fully extends the way it was designed to. The hand pump hydrolic works just like it is supposed to. There are 2 missing chips in the pocelin. One in the arm rest and one down below. It has a Buckeye The Kandle headrest that appears to be patented May 31st, 1904. It also has the footrest. Any idea what this may be worth?

I just purchased an old barber shop and have two Theo Koch, Chicago chairs. I have to get the specific info off of them yet, but the same barber used them for 68 years. I may be interested in selling them, may restore them, have not had time to think yet about them, however you may contact me via email and I will keep your info if you are a serious buyer.
