What was the original color and texture? It doesn't seem like it was ever nickeled. Note the uniform dull grey color of the sides of the headrest.And if you wanted to have it re-nickeled, removing the paint would be the least difficult part of the job? I would not think it would reduce the collectible value as it is reversible. Has anyone tried using something like Dupli-Color Silver Engine Paint on it as a stopgap measure? I would think it would display OK and would stop rust. As with most old chairs, the part that received the most abuse - the footrests, have had most of the nickel plating wear off.Does anyone know if the original fabric was leather or a type of vinyl? So good, I can't imagine it's original - but it doesn't seem to be recent. The green fabric is in excellent condition.Some of the porcellain is worn dull, it there anything short of getting it recoated to making it shine again?.Does this model come with a braking or locking mechanism? Pulling back on the handle does nothing and looking at it, it doesn't seem like it ever did.
