No. 202 Crocker Chair Company Rocking Chair

By bakerstips1993, 28 August, 2022
Description

This Chair belonged to my great grandmother. I don't know much about it. It has a company label on the underneath bottom of the seat. The label says Crocker Chair Co. There is also a big number 202 in black marker/paint/stain on the underneath of seat as well. I would love to know more about this Chair and if it's worth anything?

Crocker Chair Company Rocking Chair

Silas Crocker was one of the owners of the first furniture factory in Sheboygan. He and a partner established a factory in a converted hotel in 1865. The factory burned down in 1875. Crocker bought a carriage company in 1880 and made chairs, stools, tables, china cabinets, and other furniture. In 1924 the company was reorganized. It sold furniture for hotels, offices, and schools. Crocker Chair Company was closed by 1932. Rockers like this chairs were made in the millions from the late 19th century through the 1920's, usually as part of a matching parlor set. They were more sought after during the late 1980's than now at the peak of the demand for " Golden Oak" furniture. At auction comparable chairs now sell for under $75.00.
