    Got this at a sale for $3,didn't want it to end up in the dumpster.It's not our style and I don't think Delaware Chair Co. pieces are worth a ton-but had to save it.Maybe see if the local historical society could use it in one of their 1840's-1870's historical houses.

    I never understand how someone can just put history in the dumpster & clutter the earth. Nice chair.

    Too bad you're not closer, Bosko...we could work a deal so ya wouldn't have to find a place among your other treasures for such an ordinary ladder-back. Caning is so yesterday anyway, right?

    I guess these 'ladder back' styles are so simple folks just don't see 'em.
    Wish we did live closer Whit,it'd be mighty fun swappin' an sharin'.

    Looks just like the few chairs my grandmother had on her front porch. I'd have bought it in a heartbeat.
