Question
WE HAVE TWO PIN CUSHONS THAT ARE WOODEN ROCKING CHAIRS.  WE WANTED TO KNOW IF THEY ARE WORTH ANYTHING.  THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE FAMILY FORA LONG TIME AND ARE IN FAIR TO MEDIUM CONDITION.  THEY HAVE POST COMING OUT OF THE ARMS FOR SPOOLS OF THREAD TO BE PLACED.

Answer
Hello Sherry.  I'm afraid the pieces you describe probably have more sentimental value than anything else.  These chairs were quite common place, being made by hand and also mass produced.  Since the condition you describe is not the best, value is probably around $8 to $12 each.  Barb
