Jeepers! Bill and Gervase! Great finds! After reading about Gervase's find, I wanna go skip-diving in London!!

Bill, Rog and I went in an antique store, here, and found an old autoharp, sans those chord bar thingies, hanging on the wall. Rog bought it for me for $50, for Christmas. This was in pre-Mudcat days, so I hadn't a clue. I later gave it to my sister and, now that I've looked at eBay and some of the prices of the old ones on there, I am thinking we got a pretty good deal.

JTT, I don't know. I've always heard them referred to as sewing rockers. The two different ones I had (one of them folded up, really neat!) didn't have what I would call long backs, though. I am 5'2" anf the tops of the backs on each of them, just the back of my neck and part of my head. I never used either of them for nursing, as I needed something to rest my arms on to keep my shoulders from aching too much.**BG**
