Vintage Prairie Farmer Wooden Wheelchair with Light Brown Color
About the Item
A vintage light brown wooden wheelchair, sporting a label in the back "Presented by Christmas Neighbors Club Sponsored by Prairie Farmers WLS". An emblem of resilience and the passage of time, this vintage wooden wheelchair, bathed in a warm light brown finish, is more than just an artifact—it's a chronicle of stories waiting to be retold. The wheelchair's craftsmanship harks back to an era when every piece was meticulously handcrafted. The label at the back, reading "Presented by Christmas Neighbors Club Sponsored by Prairie Farmers WLS," further accentuates its storied past and is an ode to a community spirit that bound people together.

Antique Indian Rustic Low Seat Wooden Chair with Carved Rosettes and Twine Seat
Located in Yonkers, NY
An old Indian rustic wooden low chair from the early 20th century, with hand-woven twine and carved motifs. Charming with its rustic appearance, this early 20th-century Indian low wooden chair is a delightful fusion of craftsmanship and practicality.
