This chair was given to me with a matching rocking chair. I'm not sure how old it is or if it is of any value but I would like as much information as I can find. So far, I have not had any success finding any information on windsor chairs made by Webster Manufacturing Company.

For information on the Webster Manufacturing Company (there's not a lot out there), google the book "The Municipality" Volume 14. The book was published by the League of Wisconsin Municipalities in 1914. Pages 1112-1114 have a good writie up about the Webster Manufacturing Comapny. By this date the company had plants or outlets all over the County and was producing a million chairs per year.
