I have a friend who has a barbers chair in his living room, why not a fightening chair. How old is it? Billy Mac

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

I have some frineds that make their living knowing everything there is about sport fishing, I'll see if they can identify the chair
