    I have 2 older rocking chairs with caning. Both owned by each set of my grandparents. You’ll see a manufacturing label on the bottom of the dark one CFM Canadian Furniture Mfg. Any info on the chairs would be very helpful.
    Cheers

    First appears to be turn of the century. Think the second is circa 1930.

    Here is some info. on the Canada Furniture Manufacturers.

    "The factory was only officially known as Siemon Bros. for barely 6 years before the firm amalgamated with 19 other Ontario furniture companies to form the Canada Furniture Manufacturers Ltd. (CFM) at the beginning of 1901."

    Thanks so much for the info. Not sure if you know this. Wiarton is home to “Wiarton Willie”, the Canadian version of “Punxsutawney Phil”.
