Description
I have 2 late 30's Graco Swyngomatic Swings. Both are in ok shape. The first is white with all original pieces still in tact. Has some cosmetic damages and ware and tear. The seat is in great shape no tears or anything. The 2nd swing is green in pretty good shape just really dirty from the storage. It's missing the screws and metal brackets to keep swing standing up. Seat is in great condition. Both are very, very old and I want to know what there worth before I take further actions.

Re: 2 Vintage Graco Swyngomatic Swings
Graco didnt manufacture swings till the late 50's. Graco Swyngomatic U.S Pat # 4022510, May 1977, these are from after that date. I had one just like the first one in 1985. You might get $10.00 a piece for these, a lot of people wont use this type of swing for safety reasons.
Re: 2 Vintage Graco Swyngomatic Swings
Thank you for clarifying the year and price for me you were a big help. I don't really know to much about them.
Re: 2 Vintage Graco Swyngomatic Swings
Yes, back in 2000, Graco in cooperation with the CPSC issued a safety recall on around 7 million of these swings made before 1997. Here's a link to that recall:

Re: 2 Vintage Graco Swyngomatic Swings
My wife and I also bought the swing with the bear on the seat back in 1985 when our daughter was a baby. I believe the green swing dates to the early 1970s, the same as your walker-bouncer. Earlier Graco swings from the '60s and on back had chains in front and rods in back to support the seat. Later swings like these two had metal rods front and back.

Did you stil have these swings available? What would be your asking price for one or both? I used one when I was a child in 1969 and it looked like it may have been a little older than the ones you have pictured.
Re: 2 Vintage Graco Swyngomatic Swings
I would like to buy these from you. I have a newborn daughter and have been looking for a crank Swynomatic. Please contact me at [email protected] and we can talk payment/shipping.
Thanks!
