Question
Fred, I have a rocker that's been in the family for years. Our bunch goes back to NY (City and up around Union/Albany) and Peterboro NH in the early 1700s. Can you tell me about it. It is of Shaker style, but has no finials...

First, I'm not Fred,
Your rocker is a Shaker style but these types of rockers have been made for years. Without more info and pictures, I wouldn't venture a guess on the age or origin but thanks for the question BOB
