While I was fixing the joints of the old chair I found the original makers brass plaque underneath, Ackmans Ltd , Fitzroy. I looked them up and in the 100+ years of the chairs life it’s only moved a few hundred metres.

Here’s a historical website about Ackmans. It’s no longer there of course, long gone. https://fitzroymelb.com/243-247-smith-street-fitzroy/

It’s cool. 🙂
