Antique fighting chair

[lumberslinger178]

Some of the jersey guys may have seen this on craigs list..... Well I bought it for 300.00 bucks I think I got a great deal , My plans are to have all the brass rechromed and have the wood dipped and stripped, And buy a pedastal for it and put in my livingroom , I have a room that it will fit rite in ,its full of antique tools and boat stuff.













I believe its got to be atleast 50-60 years old. If anyone has an input I'd love to hear it.

I like it Lumber! I think it will look awesome in a fishing boating themed room.

The PD had outrigger bases on either side pre-refit, wood with a metal insert. They had "Miami" and a marlin etched into the metal. (They were rough, but I wish I had kept them. The guys at the boat shop told me they pitched them. Probably sold them on eBay.) Maybe there was a Miami company that manufactured fishing equipment back in the day. If spare can't help, you might ask on the hull truth site.

In any event, the chair is waaaay cool.
