Appraising an old wooden rocking chair that's heavy and 5'6" tall
Attachment 5583Attachment 5584Attachment 5585Attachment 5586
Hi all,
I've just picked up the large wooden rocking chair seen in the album here from a moving neighbor.
The chair is heavy - about 90 lbs, tall - about 5'6", and made of what my research says may be walnut?
The label on its bottom says made by S K Products Corp. in compliance with articles dated from 1923-1948.
Any ideas on what I'm dealing with here in terms of a restoration and what it could be worth?
Thanks for the help!

The business address has a ZIP code. Those started in 1963 if I recall correctly.

That's the very definition of gothic! I have no idea what that is worth, but I would not restore it as it looks in decent shape. A little Briwax and steel wool will clean up the legs.

Looks like S K no longer exists according to one site. Sitting in the chair makes it feel more like a rocking throne, really. Definite thanks for the tips.
Are there any specific antique furniture sites that you frequent worth bringing this to for more information?
