Center Pole Chair for Sale - Omaha

I feel like those sellers on American Pickers who drag their feet selling their favorite items, but I guess it is time. I purchased the chair about 8 years ago. I made an oak seat similar to a refurbished one I saw in Aspen, and painted the metal as original as I could match.  It has been sitting in my garage all this time since I have no where to hang it. $300 - you pick up.

I also have a Borvig Quad chair (no slats on the seats) if anyone is interested.

thanks!

Nope - those were dangerous times.

I still have this center pole chair to sell -- I built the oak seat for it.

It's a good time for me to try and sell some stuff. My parents moved out of my boyhood home so I am cleaning. See all my late 60s/early 70s toys below (not pictured are my redline hotwheels, corgi cars, matchbox cars and GI Joes which I moved into my own basement a couple years ago).

I bought the chair on ebay from a guy in Colorado. His girl friend lived in Des Moines so he actually dropped it off at my house.

He said he bought a bunch of old chairs from Breckenridge, although this one looks like some I saw being sold in Aspen.

The Borvig quad chair (not pictured) I have came from Mt. Trashmore (ski area built on a landfill), then made its way to Mt. Crescent, Iowa.

Not sure what it would cost to ship -- I have been watching that show on tv where people bid to transport items -- kind of like ebay.

Here is a pic of the other end -- I suppose I could sell for $275 if buyer arranges shipping or pickup.  For $400 total I would throw in the Borvig Quad chair which needs a seat and new paint.  Double chair is from Breck -- the quad is from the Midwest.

Section of Borvig Quad below -- the thing is a beast and weighs a ton. You can see just the very top of it in the first photo.

Sorry for the bad pic, the thing is just huge and I didn't want to pull everything out of the garage unless someone is actually interested.  thanks,
