Hi all
Thanks in advance for your help.
I picked up this rocker yesterday from Craigslist. It has obviously been refinished, and there are no maker marks on it anywhere. What do you think?

Anybody?

Of course, it looks like a Gustav Stickley sewing rocker, but I'm sure there were lots of imitators. Anyone want to go out on a limb?

Mike, see message below. Most of us who would normally respond to this type of message have jumped ship to another forum (long story). You will have to jump a couple hoops to post your pictures (there are instructions under the "Announcements" section) but I can guarantee you will get a very quick response on the other forum. BTW, looks like a great chair - haven't checked the details but you rarely see imitations done that well...

The rocker looks exactly like a Gustav #303, found in my copy of "The 1912 and 1915 Gustav Stickley Craftsman Furniture Catalogs"

Dimensions:
Back = 33 in
seat 14 in high
17 in wide
16 in deep
