The proprietor of the Allenwood General Store's name is Jeff. He had just acquired this platform rocker even though he is trying get rid of stuff. Sounds familiar. The condition of this piece is unbelievable. It must have sat in a backroom for a century. The caning is original and perfect. The finish is also untouched. No wear at all. It looks as it would have the day it was purchased except a bit darker. It was marked at 120.00. I really wanted to make an offer on it because I liked the look of it and the condition. My wife said no, we do not need it. Being she was the one holding the cash, the conversation ended at that point. In hindsight she was right. I weigh over 200 pounds so I would never sit in it. It would take up a floor space which, where we live, is at a premium. I guess I was lucky to have the unreasonable voice of reason with me that day. I was not even going to mention that box of old license plates dating back to the 30's.
I thought I would post a picture of it and see if you think it would have been a good buy at around 95.00.
