Chicago, Ill."). With later metal pieces ("N," "1," "3") affixed to armrests. With a later footrest supplied from a ladder ("The Safety Ladder S. Field Chicago Illinois"). Adjusting wheel no longer works, as a connecting belt is missing. Approximately 55 x 25 x 25". An uncommon vintage dental chair.
