I am trying to get any info and learn about my Great Grandfathers chair? Help!

It has a wooden leg support that pulls out the front.
Also a round peg that has several adjustment slots on the back.
And the large round open arm rest.
I understand his wife purchased the chair for him around the turn of the century.
Any thoughts you have would be appreciated..

Mike01,

Welcome to the forum. It's hard to tell from the photo, but it sounds like your chair may be a version of the Royal Easy Chair.

More pictures would be great, as would images of any label you can find on it.

This chair has no buttons or auto levers. To recline you have to get up and move the round wooden bar in the back.
Unfortunally my X is is resisting giving it up
so I can't get a fix on the label at this time.

Also, it could be a Streit Slumber Chair. I have both a Royal Easy Chair and a Streit. The Streit might be the most comfortable chair I have....I love it.

Hello Mike and Billy Bob,
Welcome to the Arts and Crafts Society and we hope you will return on occasions.

Mike aren't you the one who email me on this chair? I see if you are the one that you signed up with Flickr in order to post this this picture of maybe even Photo bucket.

If you are able to make some other pictures and be sure to look for any labels or brands take pictures of them as well and then we may be able to help you. As Billy Bob stated he has both of them.

Respectfully,

Ralph Jones
