Old Willow Twig Rocker

Here's another one of the pieces I found at the old gent's 'barn sale' where I found the antique coffee grinder. It's a full-size willow twig rocker supposedly (family lore ?) created by a 'Hobo' in the 1920's. I doubt the proprietor was trying to jack-up the price on this item with tag, because of what he charged me .
I couldn't exactly classify it as 'Tramp Art'-not 'fussy' enough, but it's def in that realm.

 

Hmmmm. “Hobo made” sounds like family mythology. The craftsmanship looks too exacting for that. It’s a nice piece all on its own!

 

Folk art.
