Streit Morris Chair and Rocking Chair

By riverbear5811, 9 December, 2013
Description

Two matching chairs both oak.  One is a rocking chair.  The other is a Morris Chair Slumber Recliner with an adjustable back and pull out footrest.   They are in very good condition and have been reupolstered.  There are two labels behind the footrest of the Morris Slumber Chair.  Label on left reads: STREIT MORRIS CHAIR.  Label on right reads: SLUMBER.  December 29, 1908.  Mark.  We have owned these chairs for approx 15 years.  We purchased from a couple in Fort Worth, Texas who inherited them from her parents who lived on a farm in Kansas.  We have been told they are valuable, but we don't know what that means in actual dollars.
