[QUOTE="JASON SCHMIDT, post: 4369358, member: 44294"]Hi y'all! Pretty new to the board here! Have a question about a rocker I have that would appear to be a Boston Rocker, but I'm afraid it has not been treated very nicely!! It's had some extensive repairs made to it (and doesn't seem like they cared too much about the final appearance!) and, I'm guessing based on the little bit of paint left on the bottom of the seat, it was stripped and "refinished" So I'm wondering: A: What the actual age of this chair might be B. What type of wood (it's fairly light but the grain doesn't strike me as pine) C: If the condition/repairs/finish is acceptable (not like I can do a heck of alot about it!) in terms of how that might impact valuation D: What are some opinions of its value? E: If it DOES have any decent value is there anything (at a reasonable cost!) that I should have done to it? And any other opinions/observations are welcome! The dimensions are: At widest point (arm to arm) it's 22 1/2"W Rocker length is 28 1/2"D The seat height from floor is 37"H Seat height (at the front) is about 15"H [URL]https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lbhp6ouhr92lr58/AABiVXPANsfgeQ1o6-QJiQc1a?dl=0[/URL][/QUOTE]
