Title: Refurbished ice cream parlor chair value
Post by: yoopers98 on October 25, 2023, 04:09:53 pm

I ran across this old ice cream parlor chair in very rough condition.  I have a woodworking shop so decided to restore it, and now am wondering it's value.  I've looked at similar chairs for sale and am finding prices all over the spectrum; as low at $30 and as high as $2500.  I'm also wondering if I increased or decreased the value of the chair by altering it from it's vintage condition.

I'd say $30 would be a lot more realistic. At this price point, any restoration would be plus. For the record, I think your efforts yielded a beautiful result.

I agree that you did a great job and increased the value.  In my area this would go for $80 to $125 easy!
