I have a similar Wisconsin platform rocker that I am trying to find some information about.

It appears to be older than yours since the manufacturer and model number sticker affixed to the chair is handwritten on a small, square, plain piece of paper.

I would appreciate any advice you can give me on where to find further information about my chair.

 

thanks,

Miles

Rockers like this one are a mix of styles and date from the turn of the 19th century. Most were based on the design of "Boston Rockers" made during the second quarter of the 19th century. They are a "hard sell" in today's market, as demand for them peaked in the late 1980's and has been in steep decline since then, we often see comparable rockers now sell at auction for less than $150.00.
