Child Rocker by hjbenson

Child Rocker

Gail & I drove up to my sister's house in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. One of the family treasures she has is this 60+ year old child's rocker.
How beautiful! I wish I still had my child's rocker that I was given when I was small - I'd give it to my daughter now. No idea where it went:(

@cscecil Thank you Carolyn, my sister had it as a child and has kept it since then, one of her favorite objects.
@shirljess Thank you Shirley, they have always been special in my family since my Mother gave each child, grandchild, and great-grandchild there very own on their first Christmas

what a beautiful piece. i think we had the same raggedy ann doll as well. I would LOVE to see a closer detail photo of the headrest area of the chair...it looks like a very intricate design.

@bruni Thank you Bruni, you are right the doll is only about 25 years old, but I wanted something in the rocker and we are all to big now :)

Beautiful piece of furniture, the doll looks a little scary though, they have always given me the creeps!

Beautiful chair! I love anything with history!

Perfect for the theme this week Harry. Well done. I think every family has at least one of these antique rockers somewhere.
