Hall’s Hallmark
| Sep 12, 2005 | Comments 8
Not a week goes by that I don’t receive an email inquiring about the status of this
As far as the questions go, I certainly don’t have the answers to them. What I can say from experience- I have never met a Hallmark owner who didn’t LOVE this wheelchair, or a rigid frame wheelchair user who didn’t want one. For many wheelheads and wheelchair users, the Hallmark was the quintessential chair, a renaissance chair so to say. This is the one they will be measuring all other rigids against for a long time to come.

Ooooohhhh… ryechuare. I’m only sorry they stopped making em before I could get one.
I was lucky enough to get one of the last ones he made. I didn’t know he stopped, but apparently it was a couple months after I got mine.
I *love* it. It’s the best fit I’ve ever experienced in a chair. Handles like a charm, it’s light. Just perfect…
I don’t know what I’ll do when this chair dies on me
It’ll be hard to go back to something else.
I have a Halls chair. I bought it in 2001 and its the best chair I’ve ever had. I talked to Bob Hall over the phone and he’s pretty funny and a very nice guy. I now make wheelchair bags and Mini Packs for chairs-www.wheelchairgear.com
If I knew Halls was closing shop I would have bought another for a spare.
The chair looks cool. I can push it all day on a trip. Bob if you are out there I hope all is well and we miss you! Les Snyder (a very happy customer)
I have one, but I got it secondhand. It was made for a person much taller than me. So, I am looking at getting a just-as-cool chair, but I’m not sure how much people would pay for a halls, so I don’t know if it’s worth selling. The seat dimensions are 15×18, and someone should be around 6′ tall to fit into it. Any ideas? How much would you pay? If you are really super interested in buying one, I might sell, but not sure yet. Contact me at my email saiiyah @ (nospam) .gmail. com (take out the nospam and spaces).
I need to talk with Bob to find out what size the ball bearings are since I need to replace mine. I have owned his chair since my accident in 1997. I can say that it is a great chair and anytime I have to use another I love returning to the Hall.

I know Bob Hall. My brother works with him at the BAA and I used to live in Cambridge, MA. I own a Newhall’s chair, have since 2000, and I LOVE it! Problem is it is time for a new one and because Bob no longer makes chairs, I’m STUCK!! After much research, I’ve come to find a manufacturer called RGK out of Canada. They make a chair very similar to Bob’s chair. As a matter of fact, the sales rep I’ve been talking to knows Bob. All the same, I am REALLY at odds over the fact I can’t get another chair from Bob. I would be SO happy if he’d come back and start up his business again.
I had a hallmark chair and loved it.. I needed a new one and I had Lasher Sport custom build me one just like bob halls.. It was more pricey but well worth it.. Check it out on there site http://www.lashersport.com It’s under community b nunez tribal..
