Title: 1906 Sheboygan Chair Co. Rocker Worth?
Post by: tstoltenburg on May 19, 2014, 12:28:29 PM

Hello all, I have an item from the Sheboygan Chair Company. It's a rocker and of model No. 188 Cobler Seat, golden oak, polished. With a 1906-1907 manufacture date. I'll post pictures as soon as I can but hopefully someone will tell me it's worth a million dollars from the description given. (kidding) but honestly I believe it should be worth a couple hundred at least but want reassurance. Please help!

Here's a link to what the chair looks like, it's a drawing but other than faded wood it's kept very good form.

Where I live in NJ the rockers popularity has waned and they still sell for what they did 30 years ago which is around 125.00 to 195.00.

I have driven through sherboygan, WI, its a couple hours drive north of me.  Nice little town on lake Michigan in NE Wisconsin.  I always get extra excited for thing made locally.
