| 2009-08-20 | Jamie | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much on helping me identify my peice of furnature. Our gramma seems to think that it was worth alot of money but I guess not.

Thank you so much. |

| 2009-08-05 | Mary | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much for the prompt and informative answer about my grandmother's gooseneck rocker. I've wondered about its history for some time, and didn't know how to find out until I discovered your presence on this site. Thank you for volunteering your time and expertise! -- Mary |
| 2009-08-02 | Marci | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much for your help. After looking at photos online of Stickley rockers, I knew this was not in the same category. The label confirmed it. In spite of that, I simply love this chair. Finding out how old it is only makes it more of a find for me. It's rocked it's way through a lot of life. I will indeed take your advice and consult a pro on this one. Thanks again and I appreciate the info. |
