chair ID and value
« on: September 11, 2012, 08:52:27 pm »
I moved into my grandparents old place and discovered these chairs in the garage.  Any ideas on how old they are and what they might be worth?

Are the two chairs left/right of centre...just covered in dust...or are they faded....and i take it there are only 3.....i,m of the opinion, that there not worth a lot...at a general auction here..they might fetch £10 =$15...but from what i see being sold here....they would probably  get lumped in with something else...in order to get a sale
I make no excuses,and no apologies....but i like a good Malt,

Hard to tell but maybe 1930s/40s,and yes, probably worth about $10-$20 apiece.

as a set of 4 you should have better results in selling them !!  would look good with a round breakfast table of same period or farmhouse style table !!
