My mother recently passed away at age 98 and when I cleaned out the attic of her garage I discovered 12 authentic theater seats from the original Fox Theater in San Francisco. These are evidently collectors items my dad bought in the early 60’S when they tore down the old movie palace. This row of theater seats is now 85 years old and still has the original undamaged steel structure, red corduroy backs, and hardwood arm rests. They need to be restored and reupholstered after all the years of heavy use at the FOX but they could be quite a conversation piece in a home theater for someone.
Does anyone have any idea what these 12 seats could be worth to a movie buff?
