Description
English Invalid Push Pull Wheeled Chair Salesman Sample, original condition, rare survivor.
This is what salesmen would carry with them instead of transporting the full size version to demonstrate workmanship and functionality to sanitariums, hospitals and medical doctors. Handmade with excellent craftsmanship.
This is a working sample, it is propelled forward by alternating pulling and pushing the handles on either side and these two would propel the wheel chair forward, or in reverse. The center handle is for turning, but does not function in that capacity on this model. These were made from 1870’s to early 1900’s-1905.
This is in great shape, has wood and metal tires, metal body and fabric covered seat. This is fantastic display item and lovely find for any collection.
It is 19" long, 11" tall and 9 1/2" wide. Great for any medical collection.
