Right now you could put this smallish rocker (37") in a bedroom and it would be just perfect. Give it a little loving care and it will be a wonderful addition to your home. This is what I can tell you about it; it is old, oak, and has a newer leather seat that has been put on with brass tacks. I cannot find a manufacturer or year. It is nice and solid. Someone must have felt that a child would be able to rock back too far and slightly planed the rockers. It is unnoticeable when you sit in it. Do you want a project for the summer? This rocker might be it!
