*NO SHIPPING - PICKUP OR THIRD PARTY TRANSPORT ONLY*
Includes COA!
1940s Chicago Park District Lifeguard Chair. Approximately 72"t x 38"d x 26"l, In good solid overall condition with some blemishes and imperfections noted; indicative of age and use. Metal frame construction with wood plank seat and painted silver. It was from Mark White Square Chicago Park District at 2901 S. Poplar which was renamed McGuane Park in 1960. A teenager Named Arthur Seter nicknamed Toby for his blonde hair was a lifeguard at the pool there from 1956 to 1959. He carved his nickname TOBY into the seat. When the park was torn down, park district employees gave Arthur the stand. Included is a period 1957 8" x 10" photo of Arthur and his future brother-in-law at the park pool with the stand in the background and a COA signed and notarized by Arthur Seter attesting to the provenance of this great and unique part of Chicago history. This would be great for man caves and Chicago themed restaurant and bars.
