Condition

Notes

Remarks: Ted Hemberger, a member of the Restoration Crew, made some repairs to this object in February 2013; he removed the old adhesive tape that was holding the broken rocker together and glued the pieces together; he also stabilized the cradle top; the piece is still missing part of the rocker that has been lost for some time, but it is now stable and as intact as possible.

Notes

Remarks: Details of condition: One end of rocker at head missing; rocker at foot much, and crudely, repaired.
