<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 142969, member: 37&quot;]Have you had this authenticated?&nbsp; Appears to be at least for Garfield or a memorial to him.&nbsp;&nbsp; Garfield did travel to the seaside where he died 13 days later.&nbsp; His body lied in state at the Capitol and his funeral was held in Cleveland so the chair being at the hotel doesn&#039;t necessarily fit.&nbsp; Perhaps the owner commissioned the chair as a memorial to Garfield at the hotel?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>What does it say on the tag?&nbsp; Any information with the ribbon?&nbsp; What did the Garfield museum have to say about it?&nbsp; Any way you look at it, it is an interesting historical piece.&nbsp; I would try to get as much information as possible and/or authenticate it.&nbsp; Once you have that, you might approach an auction house that specializes in political memorabilia to see if they are interested (Hake&#039;s and Heritage come to mind) or list on ebay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
