<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 372331, member: 6444&quot;]I have WAY too many old chairs, and try not to buy more. But this (almost) pair I couldn&#039;t pass up. Not really a pair, but close. The best part is the label underneath one of them:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]128025[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]128026[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]128027[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]128028[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]128029[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]128030[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;THIS CHAIR was of the wedding outfit presented To ANNIS AIKEN DOLE of Danville, Vermont, Who married James Nichols of Northfield Vermont January First 1826 and was presented to MARGARET NICHOLS FORD on January First, 1903 By Doctor George Nichols.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Almost 200 years old(!) and in wonderful shape with no repairs, yet not the most collectible of Windsors, being refinished early 19th century and step-down back, but personally I think this is one of the most pleasing of the Windsor designs. The first Windsor I&#039;ve found with a reliable date. I even found an online link to confirm the wedding date (online says Jan. 3 1826) and the grooms first name (which I had assumed was John not James): <a href="http://www.nekg-vt.com/news/news-danville-northstar-g-1807-32.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.nekg-vt.com/news/news-danville-northstar-g-1807-32.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.nekg-vt.com/news/news-danville-northstar-g-1807-32.php</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I really don&#039;t understand how no one in the family was interested in keeping it. I guess it&#039;s not as cool as the newest iphone but still...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
