I have a chair - originally 1 of 8 (or 12) that were part of a dining room set that belonged to my great great grandmother. It is the only chair that made it through ... and some bits and pieces of wood have been replaced over the years so I'm sure it doesn't have much $$$ value, but I love having a part of my history to look at every day ... it is really cool too, the back top part of the chair is hand carved with a scene that has pea pods, etc and in the middle a face that always reminds me of that story that showed the face in the north wind blowing. I love it!
