Vintage Red Metal Infant's Rocking Chair.
We bought it at an auction here in Ontario, Canada.
We believe it's vintage because of the type of springs on it.
There are no markings of any kind on it, except for "SCOVILLE" on the snap that attaches the safety strap from the tray to the seat.
We haven't been able to find out where it was made (probably the US), when it was made, or the value. So, if anyone has any ideas, feel free to let us know!! :-)
Rocking ChairsIt’s hard to find a more American piece of furniture than the rocking chair…
Could be from the "Wonder" company. They made the Wonder Horse or Wonder Pony childs bouncy toy with similar wihth the springs.
Thank you, mustangtony. One step closer to solving the mystery. :-)
I saw one on the internet that had been repainted turquoise but it didnt have the tray in front. Maybe had been broken? Try checking old advertisements, maybe Sears or Mont. Ward catalogs - looks like circa 1950's.
