Plz help identify age and what it is

any Info would be much appreciated

 

No just solid wood kids size chair on wooden wheels

 

How high from the floor is the top of the back? Is it high enough that an adult or "older" child could push it?

I'm wondering if it was a "convalescent" chair for a sick/disabled child.

 

I was thinking the same, homemade child's wheel chair.

Sort of has a German, Scandinavian look.

 

I was thinking Mexico but have no real knowledge about this beyond gut reaction.

 

It looks 19th century to me, and definitely homebrew. That might be why it looks Mexican; it was made out of local woods, and those metal straps were whatever was handy locally. It's too low to really be a wheelchair per se, but it might be some sort of indoor push toy. It's so low it's hard for me to see an adult pushing this. but I can see two kids having a grand old time rolling it all over the house.

 

Do you have any history that goes with it or did you pull it out of a dumpster???

AND, lest I forget, Welcome to the site!! Love that we're getting so many new, young members lately!!!!

 

I think the chair could only follow a straight line .. those wheels don't turn so pushing it to any destination would be rather difficult, one would have to lift the chair up to turn a corner, strange.. I have no idea on this, Joy.

 

Tilt the chair back off the front wheels and swivel to left or right. A child would be light weight. Not a smooth ride, but do able.

 

I think it would be very difficult to tip that chair back .. the wheels are extended out somewhat and with a child sitting in it would be downright dangerous. It is puzzleing for sure, .. Joy.

 

Could it have been a desk or school chair? It would be able to move towards and away from a desk in a straight line if a student had a mobility issue. Probably for use at home, but it would sure make things easier.
