Description

I have been told that this could be a very rare Larkin or stickley Rocker. I've been able to locate one other like it on-line. My mother told me that she would haunt me if I ever sold it. It is supposedly very valuable.

Re: Larkin Rocker ?

Has this been refinished? If not, then the original decal or marks would still be there if it were Larkin or Stickley. It looks comfortable, but if unmarked, not particularly precious. It should remain in the family, but you might sell it experimentally.........
