A Family Treasure.....

 This folding chair was purchased in 1935 by my grandmother, for my Mom, who was 2 years old.  The chair cost $.75  




Callan, my 2 y/o grandson, is the 4th generation to sit in the chair!  

Hopefully the chair will last through more generations - it's only 85 years old!

  2. Patti, this is so special. Family pieces are truly treasures! And to think this was your mom's at 2 years old. She must smile with delight at seeing two year old Callen enjoying her chair.

  5. I don't know which I love most -- the lovely chair or that darling boy sitting in it! (I think the darling boy!)

  6. I love that chair (and that boy's personality that is SO evident!). My sister had one of those folding chairs in our antique booth space last year. I love the wood patina. Yours is in excellent original condition and having its provenance makes it that much more special!

  7. So sweet! My granddaughter has a rocking chair that was mine as a child and I love that my daughter has refused to repaint it, she wants it in the original condition! Many memories these old chairs have!!
