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 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
