<p>[QUOTE="Msalicia, post: 4423881, member: 13664"]As far as I can see the information that has been provided without pictures of detail are very good. As you said you want to learn. Besides what has been covered already I think I would only add that the small white pieces in between the frame and back cushion are probably moth balls. I would also say that Darkwing gave you a great assessment of what may be original contents inside. A hint without ripping it apart to check would be tack holes along the upholstery line. If there are many you should consider that to reupholster there needs to be good strength of wood for the tacks. To get any fair price from an upholsterer you need to send pics of back and underneath also. Even then they might not quote. Living to love the learn is my motto. You won’t get bad advise on this forum. Good luck. I do like the char![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
