George Hunzinger was a furniture maker during the later half of the 19th century. He emigrated to the United States in 1855 and began manufacturing furniture in New York City. Like his contemporary furniture makers of the Victorian Age, Hunzinger's pieces are very decorative. What is unique about his furniture is the innovative and distinctive designs he patented. This site contains information and photo's of Hunzinger's work.

Hunzinger Platform Rocker
Nice one with paper patent sticker. Great shot of the patented duplex spring system - BTW, best rocking action on a chair. Bottom line. This is a shot of a paper stamp. I am not sure when Hunzinger or his sons began using these. Both Hunzingers we own had the paper stamps.

I was trying to find out something about a chair we inherited and other than the upholstery, this is it exactly! Guess I had better bring it up from the basement...
Good luck selling it. You should be able to get several hundred bucks for it... depending on condition. If you get a chance, please send me pictures of it.
