<p>[QUOTE="maple4ever, post: 2813975, member: 16299"]Hello all, I bought this rocker about 45 years ago from an ‘antique’ shop. Have done searches for Boston Rocker, Salem Rocker (shorter, yes?), Hitchcock (rounded front of seat?) and Nichols & Stone. There are no markings on the bottom, nor anywhere else that I can find. I was wondering if it’s a replica of a Nichols and Stone because of the shape of the top rail, the arms, the seat, and the rings on the backrest and legs. However, for some reason I had discounted N&S last week when I was searching. </p><p><br /></p><p>I've enjoyed reading your posts for a while now, and am finally getting around to selling some things. This piece may not be worth anything because besides it possibly just being a knock-off, it may have too many small chips in the paint, plus the seat is slightly cracked as you can see.
