[QUOTE="EclecticMedix, post: 4376811, member: 55366"]This is my first post… So hello everyone! My husband & I have been collecting for 20 years… Since we were 16 and first got together. We have had this chair that we got really inexpensively at an antique store a long time ago. I wanted it after seeing the label on the bottom. The seller had no idea - knew nothing about it. We may finally sell it… someone is interested. But we weren’t sure what to ask for it. The fair price / worth. I know a lot of prison furniture and other items were turned out en masse by prisoners… But being that this is such a well-known prison I didn’t know if that increased its worth/desirability. Thank you very much! -Cat It won’t let me upload a picture but the bottom has a paper label glued on that says department of corrections manufactured in San Quintin prison and has the production order number, article, catalogue number filled out. It is an office chair, Wood, with wheels. It looks to be from the 1950s or prior.[/QUOTE]
