Unique leather glider with ‘rowing’ handles

Years ago, I had the pleasure of sitting in a leather recliner ‘glider’ style rocking chair. It was unique because there were cutouts on the interior of the arms, through which two metal bars moved. The bars allowed you to rock or glide yourself manually in a rowing type motion. It was a very well constructed piece of furniture.

No joke, I’ve been looking off and on for over a decade for this chair. No google search seems to do the trick. I’m hoping there is someone out there who has seen this chair before and might know the manufacturer. If I had a photo I’d post it...but lacked the foresight back then to snap one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please feel free to contact me directly - zsmith1756@gmail.com I’ll post to the forum if this is resolved ‘offline.’

Here's an image that might help explain what I'm meaning. Thanks!

I've been doing this 35 years now and have never seen a recliner mech such as you describe, or even heard of them.
