I found this chair going out for the trash. It's a Harvard Chair (made for the dining halls) by Nichols & Stone in their "Classic Style". It has the Harvard Veritas seal. Although the black and gold paint is pretty much gone the chair is still completely solid and well made with a very thick seat and doweled joints. I don't quite know what I'll do with it but I gave it a good rubbing with Feed & Wax to hydrate and clean it. It's hard to tell how old it is because the paper tag is long gone.

Never ceases to amaze me the things people will throw out!!
