This very rare 1920 Colson Wheelchair was bought in a "junk store" several years ago  and was thought by most to be irreparable.  A well-known Rehabilitation Engineer in Virginia bought the
piece, and began the meticulous process of disassembling the rusty chassis to determine which components would have to be repaired, refinished, made from "scratch", etc.   The beautiful 1" thick White Oak Seat Frame, Back, and Footplates were sanded to perfection and 10 coats of hand-polished lacquer was applied.  A master chair-caner was employed to replace all of the intricate patterned caning latticework in the back, seat, and leg rests. Four coil springs offer absolute shock absorption, the back reclines fully, with infinitely adjustable elevating footrests, to make this the "very best of MODERN wheelchairs"  All metal was blasted, primed and re-painted as per original specs.  New bearings, new tires, and a new goal; to perhaps make it
into a museum, the theater, or even movies!  COLSON estimates the value of this beautifully restored wheelchair at $2,500-$3,000.  Will accept best offer over $1,600 plus shipping.  Call Dave in Virginia (540)337-3764 for additional info or photos.
