I have few regrets in life but one of them is that I saw an antique one at an estate sale in Austin c. 1994 for $200 and did not buy it. I’ve been waiting for one ever since.
These are brilliant. I want one attached to my computer desk….if that’s not just wrong, heh.
Lol–that’s genius!!
I have a friend who made one for friends of his when they were expecting twins. I thought it was perfect! One baby could be held and rocked while the other was in the cradle part rocking!
I must have for my day care!!!!
That would have been so handy for twins!
I had one of these as a child for me to rock my dolls in! It was given to me by an old family friend. It must have been handmade by her father in the 1950′s.
