Featured Help with chair info

Hi everyone, recently did a remodel on a dentist office. One dentist was retiring and leaving after 45 yrs and basically just walked away from everything, the new dentist wanted nothing that was there which did drastically need updated. All office furniture was left for me to have or get rid of. Nice mahogany office furniture though and made a few nickles. Tucked away in a corner was an old dentist chair that had been restored. His words was get rid of the god awful thing. It is a WD Allison , believe the rails are polished nickel, cast base with castors and fully functional. It had been in a museum in Atchinson Kansas which was written under the seat with a catalog number and after contacting then it was found that 2 yrs were missing from the book so no luck. Kind of a bummer not knowing why it was there and the history behind it. I have looked all over for images similar with not much luck so I'm asking for a little help. Trying to narrow down a year it was produce and being I won't be keeping this curious on its worth. Any help would be much appreciated!

Does this look like your chair? The date is 1920.

Maybe our young straight-razor collector would like it.

 

Looks pretty dang close, minus the attachments. Thanks, now making a little progress!

 

I LOVE the chair!!! VERY COOL!!!!! Think I'd have gone with red though instead of the white!!

 

Very nice ! Too bad it is not a barber's chair though . I once pulled a similar 1930's cream and green one out of a dumpster here where I live when they renovated the neighborhood . The responsible person was an aspiring tattoo artist who could not move it , did not want to sell it , and thought it easier to just dump it ....sad . I will not speak ill of him :tragically his life spiraled and he died in county jail of a drug related illness , a few years later his wife / partner did the same leaving a young teen boy parentless....sometimes people just can't get an even break. Hope that kid overcomes his demons he has to face ...... They were not bad people , but made bad choices ....

and on that happy note , Nice chair , great find ! If you want to sell it , call up the local successful tattoo shops.......
