The only thing I know about it, it was acquired at the Chicago World's Fair.
For the past 22 years, it's been in my closet.
It doesn't go with my décor.
APPRAISER: This is a perfect example of the kind of craftsmanship that somebody would have shown at the World's Fair in 1893.
It was made in a, probably a semi-factory setting, but a lot of the work was done by hand.
I could see that being $2,000 or $3,000 in a high-end retail store.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
I have no idea about the value at all.
I know when my granddaughters were young, uh, and come to stay with me, I told them, "You behave or you're going to sit in the devil chair."
APPRAISER: (laughs) GUEST: And they'd go, "Oh, Grammy, not the devil chair!"
(both laughing) To this day, we call it the devil chair.
APPRAISER: Well, that face is kind of mean-looking.
GUEST: (laughing) It is.
