Thread: Koken barber chair

Its a beauty! I am currently restoring a 1959 President that was my Dads. I am taking it down to the bones complete with new upholstry and the replating of the chrome. The chair really means alot to me beings that it was the source of my first job, shining shoes and making sure the ash trays were empty for my Dad's customers. It still works and has all of its parts except a head rest. So if anyone can help me find one I would appreciate it. Thank you and I will make sure to show it off when I am complete.

Sometimes things just come to you and you have to take it. Especially when the price is right.
