<p>[QUOTE="mark737, post: 4441694, member: 14894"]It's a Thonet model 18 chair first sold in 1876, and one of the most produced chair models in history. It could have value if an old version marked by a famous maker like Thonet or J&J Kohn. But many companies made these and millions survive, so values are quite low. Re-caning would probably cost around $200 and you'd be lucky to sell the chair for that. Most were made of beech and yours looks like beech to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
