I think it may be a chair she bought that reminded her of the antique chair that she knew growing up.
So I came to find out how old this might be.
APPRAISER: Excellent, and where was your grandmother from?
GUEST: Uh, Titusville, Florida.
So, the great-grandmother lived there with five sisters, and the story was that each sister had a chair like this.
When they got married and moved away, they took the chair with them.
APPRAISER: It's a great what, sort of what we call a, a twig-form Adirondack chair, made of some bent hardwood-- this looks like a combination of ash and oak-- and interwoven twig branches, which is absolutely killer.
I, I love Adirondack camp furniture.
This to me feels like it does have some age.
This is probably 1920s to 1950s.
It's got good color, good form, great condition.
And if this were to come to auction today, I would put an estimate of $500 to $1,000.
Do you guys use it at all, or... GUEST: It stayed in a garage for at least 20 years.
APPRAISER: Stayed in a garage, what?!
GUEST: Yeah, yeah.
APPRAISER: Oh, you got, you got to pull it out... GUEST: Yeah.
APPRAISER: ...put it in a, a place of honor, and rock on it.
GUEST: (laughs) APPRAISER: There's nothing better than a good rocking chair.
Isn't that comfortable?
GUEST: That's great, yes.
