Just wanting any information on the chair & an approximate value
Thank you for your time

Star Brand Shoes were very popular from the start in 1898 until 1911 when it was merged to form The International Shoe Company.
This was a popular form of advertising putting the logo/information on "theater folding seats" which most likely was in a shoe store or department store with limited spacing so they had a pull down seat. Do you know the origins of this chair?
Here is a set of three that have been for sale on 1st Dibs.

Yours is a bit more worn. Are there any markings on the chair/wood/iron that indicate a date on them?
-
It was actually given to me. I havent looked at it for any dates. I'll go look & see what I can find if anything
-
I did not see any markings that would indicate a date. I just thought it was a neat item to have.

Thanks for looking.
It is a very nice piece of history. An up close/hands on exam would be needed for the condition if you have someone you could go see locally.
Unfortunately the market is a bit down for now...but hold on to it....the market will rally!
Thank you so much for sharing!
