Eastlake Folding Sewing Chair
« on: April 18, 2013, 06:28:15 am »
I was going to put this out for my inaugural tag sale this year, but don't want to price it so high it won't sell, yet don't want to cheat myself by underpricing it. It's 33" tall at the back and 18" wide at the arms. What would be a reasonable price to ask?

It is a nice folding chair from the early 1900s. I would say around 35.00 in my region.

$40 here and agree with what Mart said.  In fact I would put $48 (unusual pricing catches peoples' attention).

Even the one in Bigwulls link would only fetch around 100.00 here in the NY metro area
