Antique Koken Barber Chair

12/14/2016 2:41 PM

We do insurance repair for customers that have had a fire or water damage in their home. We had removed an antique Koken barber chair from one of our customers home and unfortunately one of our employees broke the pump arm off and then lost the arm. I'm trying desperately to find an arm that would work or get an arm duplicated. My customer thinks the chair is from the 1940's but not for sure. I've attached some photos to show the kind of chair i'm dealing with. One of the pictures is before we removed the chair with the handle still in tacked. Is there anyone out there that could help?

There sure are. All that is needed to find them is an internet search engine.

As there are several other Koken barber chair threads on CR4 this one is flagged to Admin as a possible duplicate.

Ebay has parts, may take some time to find the right one....can you be sure you had the right one to begin with...? I would just pay them off a few hundred.....

Thank you for your response but, i had contacted the seller of this piece and he said it would not work with the chair that needs to be repaired.

Find that show that originates in Las Vegas. Ricks Restorations IIRC. They specialize in just this type of work.
