Vintatge seat info

posted by Michael Zoldessy on April 23, 2009 at 7:45am

We have 15 rows of seats, each that have been used for church pews. There are 5 seats per row.  It is possible they originally came out of a theater and may date back to 1920’s or 1930’s. They have metal frames with wooden backs and seats bolted to them. Each seat folds up & down and they have wooden armrests. 

The metal end caps have a design that consists of an “Aladdin” type lamp with a flame @ the spout and rays of light radiating from the flame. 

We were wondering if anybody has seen seats like these with that design and is there anyway to tell who made them?  Of course any other information you have we would appreciate.

We do plan on selling them but first we wanted the see if they have any significant history
behind them.

Thank you,
Dale Busby
