This terrific display of original Americana goes back to 1914 when Elmer Johnson opened this shop now owned by Master Barber, K.C. Comstock. This shop is filled with terrific memorabilia, collected by Comstock over the years. In 101 years of this shops existence there's been only four owners. The chairs are mint Koken's that have been beautifully cared for. This shop is not a knock off, it's the real meal deal!

The photos of the chairs are really wonderful. What camera do you use or were these photos from another site? Enjoy this
