Hey guys,
I snagged this of off ebay and got it today. It's a vintage tear drop era Sonor drum throne. The seat or saddle is totally original, I am sure of that. The overall condition of this is very good. It has a lean back attached to it. My question is "Is the lean back on this stool supposed to be bare wood painted black or was it a natural finish, or was it upholstered?" Im pretty sure the curved wood on the lean back is original, and hasn't been stapled or anything. I am going to shine it up and add it to my teardrop kit. I was thinking about covering it with black leather with decorative tacks hiding the staples, or should I just refinish the lean back wood?
What do y'all think?
