These chair pics were sent by a reader (thanks!). Although the chair is a bit worn and the arm is broken, it is still a great piece... just needs some work. Check out the patent stamp in the last pic. Very nice. Pat March 30, 1869.

John tipped me off to this one in a StairGalleries auction. Amazing...

Hunzinger Chair

This one is in fairly good shape and on eBay right now. What is remarkable is how many pictures the seller posted - 12! I only put up five her to save space. Note the patent stamp and what appears to be very old upholstery covering the horse-hair padding. I found this same horse-hair padding on my chair... who knows... could have been the same horse!!! If you want to see the ebay listing, the eBay link is up at the RareVictorian.
