Marble & Shattuck Chair, no arms. Help identifying?

I I found a chair from Marble & Shattuck. It's not dated, but it's labeled Cleveland, which means it's from after 1901. The odd thing about it, is that it's got no arms, and looks like it never had any. That seems odd given the other chairs I've seem from this maker online.

Anyone know what this was used for?

    It certainly looks like it was purpose built. I've seen chairs something like it for ticket windows/booths where the person seated needs to be able to reach to either side to get to supplies. I suspect it's for a similar purpose.

    Good find.
