Unique Rocking Baby Crib

Description

I have a very unique baby crib with a strap metal style rocking mechanism, very simple. I have looked at hundreds of pictures from various sources and have seen nothing like it.

I suspect it to be early 1900's, no markings that I have seen. This is not miniature or doll furniture, has what I suspect is original mattress. I bought it at an estate sale where the previous owner was said to be a hoarder.

Anything you can tell me woill be appreciated, especially time period and possible origins.

 

Thank You!

Most cradles like this one date from the first quarter of the 20th century, there is not a huge demand for them now because they don't pass modern safety standards. The bibiigest demand for them is among doll collectors, most like this sell for less thaqn $200.00 at auction these days.
