No, my Father was a world class award winning beautician and worked on a lot of movie sets and cut hair n it tho.
But thats not why i have the chair.
That chair is a 1903 Theo A Kochs barber chair. My dads grandfather, my great Grandfather came over (on the boat) as my dad would say, from Greece and spoke it fluently. They settled in Michigan and in Ann Arbor (A2). There was a Greek settlement called “Old Greek Town” he also help build the Greek church on main st in A2, but on east Anne st where the UofM Hospital is today, He had a barber shop there he opened in 1904 and had it till the early 60’s . When My father became a Beautician in the early 60’s, and my Grandpa Pete closed shop to retire, my dad was givin the chair and it stayed in the basement where I grew up in A2. My father use to cut my hair in that chair since I was a boy and many of my friends. When My father fell ill just before he passed last year he asked If I would like it? Or he was going to sell it! I said yes, Its a comfy chair and I drink beer watching football games in the barn in it lol. Those chairs go for big $$ anywhere from $2-5k easy. So its kind if a family air loom of u will. Thanks for asking.
