This great old piece is an antique Heywood-Wakefield Rocker, with its numbered original label ("Heywood Wakefield, Wakefield, Mass.) on its base.  Probably dating from the very early twentieth century, this piece is in excellent condition with just a few condition issues.  

A perfect holiday gift:  10 full color cards for $12, nicely packaged.  All proceeds benefit the Hartshorne House Association.  Also available:  full color prints, suitable for framing!

Among the products manufactured in Wakefield by the Heywood Wakefield and other rattan and reed manufacturers were a selection of rug beaters.  This one was painted white by a previous owner -- not by us! -- but it looks great as an antique architectural accent.

We have a great selection of postcards from Wakefield and other local towns.  Great postcards from Boston and Revere Beach, as well!

The Hathaway Stables, located around the location of the Wakefield Cooperative Bank, was the scene of the first 'conflagration' in the town's history.  In 1899 fire devastated the 60 x 90 foot building, killing 39 horses and eventually taking down 18 buildings, including the Central Fire Station.  

This advertising placard is a very rare piece of Wakefield history!
