Antique American Barbers Chair. barber's chair. This Barbers Chair was made circa 1930 to 1940. Prior to World War I, barber's chairs were made of oak and cast iron.

Thank you for your quick reply. I am really shocked at the price. I knew many people here wanted it, but probably figured I didn't know what I had and they wanted to buy it for nothing. I am glad I held on to it.
Thanks again!
