    This little heavy-ish 4-legged iron/steel stool looks like it might have originally served in a Doctor's office or somesuch. (?) Now with a few coats of white paint on it, there *might* be the remains (at least) of a baked enamel finish underneath. Its round seat is a little over a foot across, and screws up and down to make it roughly 20 - 25" high.

    It came out of Mom's basement, but I don't have the slightest idea how (and when) it came to get there -- I don't have any recollection of it around our house when I was growing up, so have to guess she might have found it somewhere around the farm when they first bought the property.

    Likewise I have no real idea of how old it is or who might have manufactured it, there are no markings on it unless they're totally obscured by the layers of paint.

      It could for a stool for a novice drafter or artist/painter. It appears to be too economical to be in a medical office. I remember the doctor/dentist stool had the capability also to lean back and forth link the one in this link.

      OMG! You are correct! It looks like the one in the operating room photo. Do you think we could collect the whole room?
