    Interesting. Doesn't look right to me. Guy claims 1904, but I have several barbershop photos from the period and I've never seen a chair that looks like that dating to that era. Looks more like it was pieced together using some old parts on a newer chair (looks more 30's or 40's to me).

    Not slighting you in the least for posting the link... you didn't write the description. Just thought I'd mention the chair doesn't look completely authentic to me.

    Yeah - notice the design elements and materials used. All the elements belong together and the date looks accurate. The '32 would be a cool collectable piece.
