I received this from my great-aunt over 30 years ago. My husband and I have always joked that it is the "original Lazy Boy". We would really like to know its age and possibly its maker.
Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

Hi, I have just posted about a Larkin Chautequa Rocker Recliner #45. Much of my information has been through http://www.scarboroughmarshfurniture.com/public_html/antique%20morris%20chairs.html
Take a look at this website. Yours is very similar to the Chautauqua Rocker & Reclining Chair #550 made by Larkin Soap Company
Hi Lindad,
Thanks for the suggestion about scarborough marsh furniture! My Rocker & recliner is a Larkin... I have uncovered the original fabric and was thrilled to definitely identify it. I have already email Scarborough Marsh Furniture about making the footstool that mine is missing. The footstool in the 550 appears to be almost identical to yours. I was wondering if you would be willing to take measurements and photos (or make a pattern) so that I might be able to have one made? Please email me at blaisin@tds.net. Thanks, Cindy
HI again,
My Larkin is a #45 and has a little more ornate footstool, but I am assuming that size wise it is still similar.
Thanks
Cindy
I was told today by a lady that inherited one just like this that her grandmother said this chair was given as a gift to those who purchased a certain amount of there soap and that the cost then of the chair was $5. so this chair was made a looooonnnggg time ago. the value of it is what I would love to know!
