<p>[QUOTE="Mike614, post: 4382284, member: 58990"]Hi, I'm new to the forum. I just picked up these two chairs yesterday, one being a rocker, at a yard sale. I'm planning on restoring them, I just wanted to see if I could get some info on them before I start. I'm no collector or anything, just an amateur woodworker who appreciates antique furniture. The seller said that they came from Pennsylvania out of a farmhouse that her mother bought in the 60's. She said that they were left there from the previous owners and when they asked the previous owners, they said they were there when they bought the place as well. I have looked some for any markings or label, but I haven't found anything yet though I don't know much about what to look for. Thank you for any help you can give me on how old these may be and where they come from. I just want to know some of the history and story of these. Thank you so much. -Mike</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]367818[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]367819[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]367820[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]367821[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]367822[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
