An excellent example of the fine craftsmanship of the early 1900s, this rocker/rocking chair is from the Limbert company, with Grand Rapids and Holland (Michigan, I assume) listed on the company stamp.

And FYI, there is still a C.A. Hoitt Co, furniture store in Manchester, N.H. Probably also explains how I acquired this chair at an auction in Maine.The chair has 5 vertical slats on the back and is in very good condition.

The chair measures 28.75 inches high, 19.5 inches wide across the front, 16.5 inches across the top, about read more
