Featured On the side of the road on heavy trash day.

Can anyone tell me anything about this? This was just sitting there. Nothing wrong with it at all.

 

Where I live, rocking chairs are a TOUGH sell, although my local ReStore does OK with them. Your chair looks like its decals were added in the early 1970s and odds are the rocker was made about then too. Resale isn't high, but if you have a new baby to rock to sleep the chair might be priceless. Just add some cushions.

 

I thought it was nursery figures till I blew it up ! Mushrooms ? Its a very nice sturdy piece of furniture and will last forever,paint it some funky color and enjoy it.

 

There is a handwritten black marking that says 1914. It looks like crayon. And a stamp that reads ASBLY 34. It's very sturdy and the screws look pretty old. It's actually pretty comfortable. Here in Indiana, mushrooms are a pretty big thing, lol.

 

Not particularly old but you can't beat free. Heavy trash day? Never heard of such a thing. In my neck of the woods, people put out usable stuff at the curb any day of the week. Most of it disappears pretty quickly.

 

We have heavy trash days about once a month. The things that fit in the cans get picked up weekly, but the trucks are run by one person. THe heavies that require manual loading don't show up as much. It's worth knowing the schedule if you have a healthy body and a pickup, especially in the richer areas.

The wild ones are in Australia, when heavy trash is only picked up a few months a year. it all goes out at once and pickers are on it like lice.

 

When I have absolutely no room for new art I pick out the worse or what I've had for a long time and put it outside - it's always gone the next time I look!
