<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 9662966, member: 37"]Definitely an oldie. Caned examples are not as common and make dating this a bit more difficult. The solid seat on most is a good clue as to date. However, the rolled front and up-turned back of your seat are also good earmarks. The rocker attachment and old paint are aslo plus characteristics as to age. I don't think your 1850 date to be out of line. The cane seat does make me think just a bit later, though I do not have anything solid to back this hunch up. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a similar rocker on ebay that has been stripped and re-caned.
