I just purchased three of these rockers on craigslist. They're in great shape and are the original fiberglass. Trouble is, there are so many versions of these (with and without upholstery, different bases, maple/birch/walnut) that I can't tell how rare (or not) mine are and what they're worth. Can anyone help me identify them?

Good looking chairs!
The bases have got to be newer reproductions though. Do they look as new in person as they do in the pictures?
Love the fabric.

bases
Yes, they're super clean and shiny. I wondered the same thing, but I'm not sure how to tell.

bases, take two
By which I mean the chrome, obviously. The wood rockers are really clean, as well. If they're new, I have to wonder how that impacts the value.

value
Thanks---and nope, I got them for $200 each. I knew roughly what they were worth, but no specifics.

Yes
tynell is correct, upholstered shells usually don't sell for as much as non-upholstered, but if they are really clean, in excellent condition, and a nice pattern/fabric/material, they can sell for over 200.
