<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 9440922, member: 37"]Can't tell you whether the mark relates to a maker or is some type of institutional marking as suggested. I don't think it really matters. Evaluate your chair based on form and function, guage your market, and you can determine a selling point. It appears to be a late 19th to early 20th century oak chair. Does look somewhat institutional in form, though the back is a bit more slanted than most such chairs (Could just be a function of the photo?). Nice robust chair. </p><p><br /></p><p>This somewhat similar pair is listed at retail for $795.00. Keep in mind that a pair is always worth more per piece than a single.

Your market and how selling is everything.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.harpgallery.com/shop/item43730.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.harpgallery.com/shop/item43730.html" rel="nofollow">Pair of Antique Oak Office, Banker or Desk Chairs, Milwaukee Chair Co (harpgallery.com)</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
