    We are still looking for any information on this rocker. Still have the original paper tag on the inside up under the seat area. It's solid, nothing broken, but it needs to be restored, I just don't want to do it, if it's not a good idea. It's a friends, who says it's been in their family for longer then she can say. Passed down over and over again. Any information on it other then it's manufacture would be great. The question is redo it or leave it alone?

      To re-do or not to re-do is a very personal thing. It all depends on what they want to do with it. They are obviously going to keep it in the family. I highly suggest that if they choose to re-do it a professional should do the work since it has so much sentimental value. I wouldn't want to take on something like that just in case they didn't like it after it was done.

      Below is a link to an old one but I believe by the looks, this one is older than that.

      I have this exact chair! Not nearly this nice condition and I'm attempting to restore it. It's been tough to restore because I can't find anything even close to it to know what it's supposed to look like - especially the feet. Mine are in really bad shape. Could I ask a favor? Would it be possible to send me detailed pictures? I would be very, very grateful.

      I could do that, but would need your email address to do so. The chair is not mine, but a friend who was wanting me to restore it for her. I can send you some photo's of the supports (it really doesn't have legs or feet).
