<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 949641, member: 6444&quot;]I grew up with a rocker that is identical to the one in your pic (I don&#039;t have it anymore so can&#039;t check for the marking underneath). I think yours is newer than the 1930&#039;s. My mom&#039;s was bought new in the late 1960&#039;s, and the finish looked like yours so I believe your&#039;s has its original finish.</p><p><br /></p><p>p.s. You call yours a Boston Rocker, and that doesn&#039;t match correctly with the name used to refer to the antique ones. Here&#039;s a link with a properly named antique Boston Rocker: <a href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/boston-rocker-age-and-if-worth-repairing.14477/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/boston-rocker-age-and-if-worth-repairing.14477/">https://www.antiquers.com/threads/boston-rocker-age-and-if-worth-repairing.14477/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Yours is a 20th century adaptation of a generic windsor rocking chair - actually more closely based on what the antique trade calls a Salem Rocker: <a href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/867831_265-antique-salem-rocker" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/867831_265-antique-salem-rocker" rel="nofollow">https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/867831_265-antique-salem-rocker</a></p><p>(note the main difference is the seat).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
