    Civil War Officer WARREN HAYDEN IL Primitive Child Rocker Sq Nail Hand Hewn Seat
    Civil War Officer WARREN HAYDEN IL Primitive Child Rocker Sq Nail Hand Hewn Seat
    Offered for your consideration is this Very Rare Primitive Civil War Period Child's Boston Style Rocker with Original Period Thin Rocker Runners & Slight Residual Red Paint still remaining on the wood. There are a few square nails that we can see & under the thick hand hewn plank seat there are some black stamped/stenciled letters that read "HAYDEN, WARREN | ILL". We have owned this rocker for at least 40 years & are finally parting with it. To the best of my recollection, when we purchased it we were told the original owner/child it belonged to had become an officer in the Civil War & that he lived in Illinois as a child. Now, while trying to find more info I think I have discovered that Warren Hayden was in the 187th Ohio Infantry & was a First Lieutenant in the Union Army. It stands approx. 26" high x 14-3/4" deep & measures about 17" wide at the arms (11" wide in the inside seat back area). The rocker runners measure 23-1/4" long. The wood on this rocker is not finely sanded & we left the condition of the wood exactly as we purchased it. It is definitely a one-of-a-kind item so if you are into items of this period you might want to buy it & make it your own & hopefully treasure it as we have.  We encourage you to take the time to view our photos for additional item specifics and condition details  ~ Thank you and may GOD Bless the USA, our Beloved Troops & our Veterans!
