Interesting Find Advertised on NextDoor

Mersha — Mon, 18 Jul 2022 19:43:39 GMT

I have never seen anything like this before. They are counter seats from Woolworths.

I would love to scoop them up as they are neat but I have nowhere I could put them.

They look familiar. I don't think they'd fit into most decor, maybe a family room bar.

That brought on a flood of memories. Thanks for the picture! Probably a nostalgia collector would be interested in these seats.

Maybe use as end tables, bedroom nightstands, plant stands, in a corner holding a lamp. I’m trying to think of ways to help you use them. They are certainly fun collectibles, with many memories, and so mid century. Good luck!

Just glancing at the tiny base I would say with certainty they MUST be anchored to the floor in some way. That would really be a commitment.

Could you use them as a plant stand? (being careful of course to keep the seat cover dry)

@Mersha .............If your neighbor can prove they really came from Woolworth's they could be worth a hefty chunk of change. Even if they aren't they could be worth a lot. They look in excellent condition. Nice treasure there.

@Imaoldhippie He is asking $150 for both of them.

They really are neat but I have nowhere they could go. I am not sure how you would prove they were from Woolworth's unless there is a marking on the stool.

I am guessing someone knowledgeable about vintage and antiques will scoop them up.

Oh wow, do those stools bring back fond memories. Also, the stainless steel part reminds me of the look of old barber shop chairs. 💈

You could use one in front of a vanity.

@Mersha Do you have an enclosed patio or porch?

@Mz iMac I do not have an enclosed porch or patio.

I have been trying to figure out what I could possibly use them for to no avail.

Someone will get a great find.

@Mersha

I love them and would find a place for them for sure. A blast from the past. Who says decor can't be fun!

I also remember the stools. I don't care for retro in the least.

Re: Interesting Find Advertised on NextDoor

Old school....the price seems high. Very retro...might be approriate in a 50s game room.

@faeriemoon

You bring up an excellent point: I personally do not see any place where bolts in the base might have been, so that leaves lots of questions with how were they bolted to the floor before?

Really good ideas-@twoaces---I love those ideas--

I assumed they were the same design as those in a Woolworths store, not actually from Woolworths. If someone loves them, it shouldn't matter.

Not seeing a pic. It's not visible on my screen.
