Hi Patsy: The Hipp seat doesn’t have anything under it for feet or purses. I has the typical solid wood back w/ cloth, hardwood arm rest, with cast iron ornate sides. It would be nice to see a museum of some kind dedicated to vintage theater items from common to rare. I would donate this seat if there were ever such a thing.
I own an original 1908 hippodrome theater seat. I know 5 other are still around, and some pieces of the organ. I know of a ticket booth forsale in southern ohio antique area. All wood, no glass, pretty nice condition. I was told it was from a cleveland movie theater, but they didn’t know which one. It’s priced at $1200. I can help you locate it if interested. I would love to have seen the hipp. in it’s glory, it’s sad that things, so unique have to be destroyed. regards.
