I am in my mid-40s, and I'm going through some of the items that came to me from my grandmother. I am seeking information about a child's rocking chair that my mom said came from her. Not sure if she used it as a child, how old it is, where it came from... and I'd like to know more about it. My only clue is a label, but it's half gone... does this mean anything to anyone? My grandmother was born in Canastota, NY and lived in Cazenovia, NY for most of her life. Thank you for any help you can provide!
The furniture people will be along, but because you have posted in introductions instead of furniture with no furniture title heading it might take a bit longer. I will tag @verybrad
Hi LL and WELCOME to ANTIQUERS!!! I went to Cazenovia College, back in the day before it went co-ed!!! It was beautiful up there!! Nice solid child size rocker, in decent shape too!!!
Here is what I can make out (guess at) for what is on the remains of the label(s) -- (?) and Wakefield (?) Company York NY U.S.A. I doubt if it helps you but . . . . good luck. I love children's chairs and especially a child's rocking chair.
Looks like one that we bought used in 1962 for rocking a new baby. It rocked a lot, but it did not hold up. The arms soon came loose and then the back. I did not have time to fix things back then so it went in a garage sale. Barbara.
