You probably will have to find an antique furniture dealer that has a big "rough room" to search through.

These are not rare chairs and should be pretty easy to find one that may not be in as good wood condition !! I would check craigslist in your area for one to salvage the part from !!

I do not know what the spring looks like or I would help you search. I see www.vandykes.com (http://www.vandykes.com) sells a rocker spring for around 85.00. Take a look at it and tell me if it looks like that. I am in central NJ and we have a lot of old stuff around here. If I found a broken chair I would strip it out for you but I do not know what I am looking for.

You should be able to click on the seller's name, and be directed to a drop-down menu to contact them. Either that, or just ask a question directly on the auction page.


Are you in the Huron area?

I am sorry Greg, but I cannot call on the phone for personal reasons. I gave you my email in the PM and I am willing to help as best as I can. I hope that you can respect that.
