>Is this what you would call a mission style chair? how old would you think it is it has a burlap bottom with straw and horse hair under the leather. I picked them up why rust hunting they were in the free pile I couldn't resist them at that price. other then them all I found was a PEXTO 5/8 chisel.
My call is 1920's, maybe even through to 1940

>Hi Ernie,
These look to be factory made chairs from the late 20's for mine.
But I've been wrong before
Would love to hear other opinions.
Cheers,
Andrew

>Andrew has it right. They call them T-backs around here. They used to bring $50 a piece but more recently about $5. Yours are in decent condition except for the seats which are replaceable. You may be able to do a little better in your area. Sorry, no Gustav Stickly or early retirement.
