Couple things I acquired from a storage auction and can't date or value. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

The first four pictures are all from the chair or chair bottom, I even tried contacting Takara directly to get some help and they ignored my questions.

Thanks in advance!

The barbers chair looks like it's from the 70's or maybe late 60's at most. Looks like an economy model since it has no padded foot or leg rests.
The blow up doll appears to be a representation of a Denver Bronco QB. It would date to the late 70's-early 80's probably by the looks of it. I would imagine it's John Elway being number 7 and saying Denver on it. Although it could be Craig Morton from the first year they won the superbowl in '77, since it doesn't say Elway. A generic representation of either John Elway or Craig Morton. I only mention Morton because he was the first one in Denver to win a Superbowl wearing the number 7, and it doesn't say "Elway" which one would expect. There should be some type of writing on it somewhere to help identify it. Look closely.

I figured the chair was probably from that era, problem I'm having is applying a value to it. I can't find that chair anywhere online so it's hard to find a basis for value.

As for the inflatable, I figure it's from the Morton era. The only markings on the whole thing are around the inflation area and they only say "KIPP Taiwan"

Thanks for any and all input

Get that chair from an DRMO auction, looks like the ones from the BX Barber back in the 90s that where as old as our guns.

I saw that chair in an old Bugs Bunny & Elmer Fudd cartoon, I believe it was The Barber of Seville. If you can prove it's provenance, it could be worth big $$$ :laughing7:
