<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 138747, member: 37&quot;]I am going to go out on a limb here and offer an alternative.&nbsp; This may be a tavern chair with the shelf in the back for sitting your beer when sitting backwards in it.&nbsp; The basic form is that of a tavern chair.&nbsp; The slice of log seat is a very early vernacular form and the idea of a backwards sitting chair goes back nearly as far.&nbsp; The way the back narrows at the seat would lend itself to backwards sitting.&nbsp;&nbsp; I am conjecturing about the shelf for your beer but the shelf structure adds strength to the piece.&nbsp; I doubt this goes back to before the 30s and may be as late as the 50s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
