thanks for the comments folks. the thing is though the bed cannot rock with the legs down. but if you fold the legs up then the head and foot boards have to fold down because they're connected to the legs with a hinge mechanism. so how could it have ever rocked? it would be awful uncomfortable with your feet and head resting on top of the folded down boards just to be able to rock.

D&B, there are 4 hinges total that connect the legs to the head and food boards and 2 or 3 are broken. is the value still approximatly the same as you mentioned? the wood is in great shape.

i got this bed at an auction, it has a chain mail type area for a box spring the head & foot boards fold in if the legs are folded up and the rocking (legs) also fold in. I've been told it was to store the bed and it was used as a "sick" bed to rock and sooth those who were ill.  Is this true or what is my bed, any Idea of the year or what it is?
