    Hi all, see attached - I am trying to date and ID this old solid desk chair and get opinions on value. Any input appreciated! :)

    Made for ages..... From the teens all the way into the 50s. Later ones are usually in lighter finishes. Often called a courthouse chair but used in all kinds of comercial settings. Have always liked these and they used to have good value. Kind of out of favor now and I have seen similar for as little as $5.00. Here in the Midwest, you often see them in shops for around $25.00 at retail. I am sure you can find them priced quite a bit higher in other locations, particularly in big cities. Mahogany stained versions like yours tend to be less valuable than oak.
