Hello everyone, I’m trying to determine (if possible) the maker of this carved griffin rocking chair. Story was my great grandfather bought it in Brooklyn in the late 1800’s…it’s been in our family ever since and it came down to me recently. Any info on it would be most…

My guess would be Hunziger or early Horner. 

Just a guess!  ;)
I found a Griffin rocker as well...mine is Sticley&Brandt. Maybe yours is too?
