Hi Michelle, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. The market for antique cradles is quite soft at the moment, not least because they are now a purely decorative item and not at all functional. Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is: An antique pine and iron wind-up spindle rocking cradle American or English, late 19th/early 20th Century The frame of spindle construction with tall crested headboard and shorter footboard and (later) chicken-wire base, raised on a frame with wind-up rocking mechanism. 38 inches tall, 42 1/2 inches long, 23 1/2 inches wide CONDITION: Wear appears to be commensurate to age and use; wire base is a later replacement. $75-125* *represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary. Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
