This has the look of a Larkin Rocker, which the soap company gave as a premiun. It may have markings on it on the bottom or back. It is most likely maple with a mahoganized finish...nicely worn-off in the right places. It dates from 1880-1920

Thank you for your response. There isn't any markings any where. Are you sure that is years it came from? And do you have any idea what value? Thank you.

You're welcome. Yes I'm as sure as I can be from the pictures, that the years are right. In dating a piece you have to go by the latest date attached to material, style, technology....and this chair really could not have existed before those dates, and the wear patterns indicate that it is not later. The value is probably $100-300.

Thank you for your info, its very helpful. Is there anyone else out there with anymore info and other opinions on value and exact year if possible.

You are welcome. I make and restore, but do not buy or sell, furniture. So my guess at value is just that - a guess - but usually my guesses sre too high! Knowing how much work it took to make the thing makes one incredulous at the low prices brought by low-to-middling-quality pieces.....and flabbergasted at top-end prices. It's all about supply and demand. And, isn't it frustrating trying to get people to respond to much of anything!?!?! (I'm getting older, yes....and remembering olden-times...but this is now....)
