1905 Theo. A. Kochs Barber Chair

Description

$1500 this is a great deal

1905 Theo.A. Kochs Barber Chair. Fully functioning EXCEPT the chair does not lock in place (an adjustment I cannot find) . The head-rest is after market but works PERFECTLY with the original chair mechanism. I took possession of this chair 6 months ago. I replaced the leather on the seat and back with REAL black leather with white leather piping. Cleaned and removed surface rust. The original springs are in the seat bottom and packing in the back. I put WHITE new LEATHER on the back of the foot rest. I left the ORIGINAL leather on the back of the foot piece that faces forward.

The chair raises and lowers perfectly, spins on a dime with the smallest of effort. The chair does not leak oil.

The outer faces of the metal have been cleaned and polished leaving the original patina. THE BACK of the pieces still have build up from the long time this chair has existed.

In my research this chair is the OLDEST working barber chair in southern Utah. The chair is very comfortable and comes with 113 years of life!

Issues: The arms are secure but have un-original parts underneath the arms, like replaced wood and some non-original screws. There is some porcillian that has chipped off the arms. Other than that, in 45 years of being around the barber industry I have not seen a chair in this good of condition that has not had a full restoration on it.

I have more pictures if you need them, contact me for them if you need more.

For shipping buyer will need to arrange pick up from my barber shop in Washington Utah AND PAY for SHIPPING. I am estimating the weight at 300lbs. and dimensions are for the chair only not the package you will need to get in in. I would be able to meet pick-up driver anytime 24 hours per day.
