Message:: [QUOTE="Aquitaine, post: 4128320, member: 602"][USER=5170]@Ghopper1924[/USER], not really.....I DID find out that it had NOTHING to do with BLOCK ISLAND, RI as I had thought there was a connection with a huge hotel owner there offering Pres. Garfield to come to the seaside to Rehab there(which if I'm remembering correctly) might have been based on an old letter DH & I had found in an old house or a very old B.I. newspaper article....which of course was never to happen!  MUCH LATER AFTER I HAD POSTED THAT THREAD, I was digging through Mom's old "little black books" where she kept some 'haphazard' written records of her "buyings and sellings", that she'd picked up the chair somewhere in New Jersey.....I'd have to go digging again to find the when's and not sure she wrote the 'who from' or 'how much'.....the black bow that had been on the corner of it is still 'with' the chair, but fell of....deterioration....but have kept it in some acid free tissue paper..........I did offer it to the Garfield Museum, but they said they had to get some sort of permission, and after that I never heard back from them again!!  Such is my luck!!!!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
