There was a local man that made these chairs & they are very hard to find these days. We don't know the whole story but it sounds like he grew up poor & disadvantaged & ultimately made a name for himself making these chairs. The arms literally turn into the front legs. This one looks like it has its original seat & paint, but we are not sure.
