Thread: I bought some cool stuff.

I went to an auction saturday and bought a cute witch hazel bottle and a water bottle from an old barber shop that had went out of business. I also bought his barber chair! The chair is going to be the toughest restore ever attempted but it is just so cool. I will post pics as soon as I can. Also got a Barbicide jug and an Ever Ready 300E brush.

Great finds! wish i had me a barber chair. Look forward to seeing your haul!

Here are the bottles

Here is the chair. Its going to take some work, but I kind of like it. And it went way cheaper than I thought.

Everything looks awesome, especially the chair. It has a great "patina" to it and looks to be in fine shape.

Awesome score, B.

That chair does not look like it needs much for restoration. Some elbow grease, steel wool and a little polish will go a long way. I have always wanted a barbers chair. All in good time I suppose.

Way awesome score there

And I agree, the chair just needs some elbow grease

Who is the manufacturer of the chair?
