My grandmother rocker - would like to know more about by it origin/manufacturer. She aquired it in the early 1900s.
I can’t find any other markings.

Every city had furniture makers. Generally no mark was made so it is highly unlikely you will ID the maker.
fortapache is right and to add to the confusion there are several styles in various elements in the chair. It also looks as if it could have been made by more than several makers up to 1950. They were still producing this style to then. You have to realize also that old people back then, as they are today, were buying things until the day they died. Not just in their hey day ! How would you know when she aquired it, were you with her?
I have an identical chair from my grandmother from the Williamsport PA area. Mine was in worse condition took I took it apart and rebuilt it. There was a tag tacked to the inside of the frame, "FRAMETAG No. 5459" with a number 723 handwritten as well as an 'h' handwritten in next to the printed next the to word article. I too am interested in factory of origin as well as a rough date.
