    Hello!
    This is my latest 'find'! I was told it may be a real old school chair. Mat have been out of Atlanta Ga. The base is metal painted blue. No names anywhere. Seat is all wood. It is pretty heavy.
    Have any of you seen a chair like this? I think it is the cutest thing!
    I would love the group's help with any info anyone may have. Perhaps you have sat in a chair just like it. If so, I would love to hear about it.
    Thanks again!

      Very interesting that it is designed to be bolted to the floor. Could this possibly be something for a boat or something like that?

      Thanks fortapache,for your comment. That is the very thing I thought also when I bought this little chair. Maybe for a boat. But, last night I found this on Ebay. It IS a 1930's school chair! If you are interested in seeing this on Ebay, type this in the search box: "1930's Antique Metal and Wood Childrens Elementary School Desk and Chair Nice" I couldn't believe I was looking at the same chair. How fun is that!
      Thanks all for the loves & likes. You all are great!

      Our school had those in the 50's. The school was built in the early 20's

      Nice!
