Very Early Nichols and Stone Rocker ?

By gtburgin, 14 September, 2013
Description

 

**Note! Click on the pictures below to expand them to full size**  I found this rocker at a thrift store and dont know its age.   It appears to be some past form of a Nichols and Stone "Westminster" rocker since it has round spindles with flattened sections.   On the bottom is a very faded paper label with the numbers 676 020 (or maybe 026 ?) stamped on top of it.   It appears to have been stamped by hand since it was clearly stamped twice with the second attempt not perfectly aligned with the first.   There is also a black ink stamp showing two digits "02" in large font. It has the typical Nichols and Stone "brand" burned into the bottom of the seat.   There are various places on the chair where it has quite an old looking petina.   Nothing is broken or repaired.

Re: Old Nichols and Stone Rocker

Reproduction rockers like this currently have very modest values, at auction they often sell for less than $100.00.
