The top, rounded piece of the cast iron frame broke off. The previous owner said it disappeared years ago. Debating if I should have a piece made to fit it or just leave it alone. Thoughts?

My chair is the same way. The problem is they're cast iron, so its not easy to have one made and welded back on.
If you do decide to repair it, look for a crappy stadium seat that was similar in design. When i restored a Polo grounds chair, one of the top pieces was also broken off and lost. So I had a trash piece from a old yankee stadium seat and used that.
