    I am seeking any information on the age and maker of this rocker. It has been passed down through the family and the story goes that it was given to a relative that worked on Teddy Roosevelt's ranch in the late 1800's in South Dakota. Can't find anything close on the internet.

    Unsolved Mystery

    Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

      It is done in Eastlake style . It would be impossible to prove the story without documentation , But would be wonderful if true. A beautiful chair that needs a little repair to caning on seat and back .
      Perhaps someone else will stop by and offer more help . Welcome to CW
