    Not game used but still pretty nice for the room.

    I want so badly to post pictures of my room but I am still hand building all the cabinets and working area. I picked this up today for a little seating for the office.

    Original Comiskey Park row of Seats.

    I can't wait to finish this room and show the pictures. The pictures are from the auction I won the seats from.

    Glen - I know of someone selling a single Comiskey seat. Can I ask what you paid for those?

    Jim,

    I won them on ebay for $616 but had to pay sales tax + whatever. I believe the total for the row was about $675. I thought this was a good deal because single seats go from anywhere between $175-$450. You can by a pair of the just replaced blue plastic chairs from the White Sox for $440. I had to tell the wife I needed a new "couch" for the office I am building. She was reluctant but I have wanted these for a while.

    That is a nice chair and the price is still in the range for what I have been seeing. Notice the row I have are from the infield box section hence the rounded style.

    Normally for the one chair to get to the $400-$500 range it has to be an end ailse seat with the art deco iron work.

    Glen,
    Outstanding seats! What years are those from? They look completely original, which I think is really important when it comes to seats. Are the numbers carved into the slats? They look great. Never seen that before.

    I have a beautiful set of all-original Atlanta Fulton County Stadium seats from 1966-1977. They're a couple of my favorite items. Even my wife thinks they're cool. I'll try and post a couple of pics soon.

    Here is some info on these chairs.



    These curved back seats were added in the 40's
    and mounted on the concrete risers. They were
    originally mounted as box seats near homeplate but
    were later salvaged and remounted in other areas along
    the baselines when the Sox added new plastic
    "Gold Box" seats in 1982. The engraved numbers no
    longer made sense, so new painted numbers were added.




    The slatback seats dated back to the 1920's.
    In nearly 60 years of use, most of them were never
    moved even once. Gobs and gobs of paint
    covered both the seats and the risers.


    Here is a picture of the end Aisle seats.



    Just thought I would post some info.

    Thanks,

    Glen

    I love the Comiskey seats! I've always wanted some Wrigley one.

    Jim,
    I've got to ask, is that a stadium wall? That is awesome!
