The serial number is 266-935
I bought this rocker eight years ago and I
have never seen one like it again. Your help
would be most appreciated.

Hello Whit,
Welcome to the Arts and Crafts Society forums and we hpe you continue coming back.
Now for the chair, I am sorry but all I see is the back or atleast part of it. Could you reduce it so we can see the whole thing.

Respectfully,

Ralph Jones

Here's a full view, sorry for the bad
quality. I have yet to see an exposed
mortise and tenon at the top of the chair
that looks like this one.

I can only say that this cair is not Stickley, Gus, L&JG or Stickley Bros. Nor is it limbert. The exposed tenon at the top rail of the seat and the "hump" is unusual. Early Onondaga had a hump crest rail, but more pronounced and there were more back slats. This might prove again to be a well made generic arts & crafts style rocker. Rockers are the most common of all chairs.
