| Been looking for over a week so far and can't seem to figure out what I bought. So I found this message board and thought it couldn't hurt.
Photos are here http://picasaweb.google.com/matthew1215/OldChair# I picked it up at a thrift store in New England. Don't know much about it at all. One person said it may be a spinning chair and another said they think it is a tiller's chair. That's it. Any info you may have would be helpful. Thanks! |

| It's a plank seated chair....not necessarily for a particular use. could have been used for weaving or spinning or tending the fire or just for sitting. Linda C |

| How far off the ground is the seat located? |
|
| Its lower than a modern or conventional chair but higher than a milking chair. High enough for a short adult. Dont have a tape measure. |
|
| It could have been used with a draw shave bench. |
