Some of the original chrome or nickle palting is excellent and other lower areas show normal wear from use. This Theo Kochs barber chair was top of the line in it's day with the cast iron/porcelain back rest, porcelain hand crank and fancy headrest with 1909 & 1910 patent dates in photos. Note the unique chrome cannon ball shaped pivot brackets with acorn shaped caps below the curved porcelain over cast iron seat platform.
