Check out this fine Hunzinger piece Christa sent me last night. Platform rocker with patented duplex spring system. The finish looks original. The carvings in the back are quite cool. Finally, it has a stamped pattent mark as opposed to a paper lable. I'm considering purchasing it, but If I don't I'll share the link to the sale page! :)
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.

Third Place
Christa notified me that I had been seriously slacking on my blogs lately. I enquired as to exactly how much blogging one had to do in order to be considered a slacker. She answered simply... "you have slipped to third place" What? Evidently at one time in the recent past, typing in the word Hunzinger in a Google search pulled my blog as the number one site... well, now I have slipped to third behind some construction company named Hunzinger and behind another furniture blogger: Rare Victorian. Although I can't begrudge either of them, especially John at the RareVic, for taking my spot, I will have to kick it up a notch to bring up my hit ranking. So here we go!

I see you don't have comment moderation on. Now we know where to get Indonesian Hunzinger pieces! ;-)
If you type in "George Hunzinger" in Google you're first place. If you type in "Hunzinger", you're at 3rd and in my opinion you will never unseat them at 1st since "Hunzinger" = Hunzinger.com. They have the keyword of his last name as their SLD - second level domain name while yours is Blogspot. 2nd place is an article from Antiques and the Arts. That one can be beat over time.
My positions fly all over the place and my pages are younger than yours, which is important to Google. I own "GeorgeHunzinger.com" to help me over time ;-)
Domain-Shomain! I want first place!
