I rescued about thirty of the theater seats, scores of wall sconces and a pair of silver-plated chandeliers from the UA150 just before it was demolished in 2002. They have all been sitting in storage since they were rescued and I would entertain selling to the right collector or for the right project. The seats, made by Heywood Wakefield, are extremely well-built and comfortable – they have high backs (maybe not by todays theater standard) and rock on hinged steel springs; they are pink. The sconces are fairly common mid-century wall sconces; they clean up nicely – I painted about ten of them and re-purposed them in my restaurant. The chandeliers are absolutely gorgeous when cleaned up (they had years of dust and popcorn grease accumulated on them). If interested in making a purchase, I can send along photos. Dave
