Tell you it sure does pay to drive around the back streets found this sitting out in front of somebody's house looks like they might have taken out of an old barn or something and didn't want it anyone know what sage by chance see the wicker seats need fixing but I love it
I would venture to say 1920's medical wheelchair. That is a power find.
So cool! Great find!!
I wonder if this one has the brass plate with the makers name on it. Last couple years these have gotten popular in certain parts of the country. People buy and restore them and use them for home decor. I know a guy who has one in his man cave. He says it is to wheel the drunks out with.
Any paper labels or country of make marks burnt into the underneath ?
"Thonet" or "JJ Kohn" would be some of the best names to see... (normally paper labels which are often lost over time) but they often have the country name AUSTRIA burnt in. (Later on you might find ROMANIA where they moved there production to).
Can't argue with finding cool old things at someone else's curb, for FREE...??
