<p>[QUOTE="Aquitaine, post: 142958, member: 602"]Hi again!!! In one of my Mother's house clean-outs, she acquired a folding chair (attached pictures) that is/was purported to be from James Garfield's funeral.....there is/was a black ribbon on one of the corners....I still have it in some tissue paper as it fell off....decaying I suppose. The deceased owner of the house's father owned a large hotel and was also supposed to have invited President Garfield to come heal by the seaside and ocean airs. Obviously not to be!! I have tried offering it to the JG Museum in Ohio, but they aren't interested. So, I have just hung onto it......not sure where to turn next....and I know next-of-kin might just put it in a dumpster!!!! Thoughts??????</p><p>THANKS!!!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]37974[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]37975[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]37976[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]37977[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]37978[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
