Usually pine seat with the rest mostly maple, though woods can vary based on where made; mix of woods common since were painted.</p><p>C. Depends on who is buying it - collectors are looking for early ones with original paint, though most collectors want earlier Windsor styles. But average chair buyers still like the look of natural wood, so they’re still being stripped even though it’s a lot of work.</p><p>D. Depends on where you live and where you sell it. Here in New England there are a lot of these, and not many buyers, so less than $100, usually less than $50 if you can find a buyer. If it was earlier with really nice original paint could be more.</p><p>E. No, once original paint is gone it is gone. Look for someone who likes the natural wood. Give it away if no one wants to buy it - a working chair in front of your house will almost always disappear quickly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
