Green monster "wood"
THE GREEN MONSTER WAS ALL WOOD UP TILL 1934. DESCRIPTION FROM WIKIPEDIA: The wall was part of the original ballpark construction of 1912. It is made of wood, and was covered in tin and concrete in 1934. THIS PIECE IS ORIGINAL WOOD THAT WAS REMOVED IN 1971 FROM THE BALL PARK. WAS IS JUST STORED FROM AN EARLIER DATE I CAN'T REALLY SAY. IT WAS GIVEN TO THE COLLECTOR AND HAS BEEN IN HIS COLLECTION SINCE THEN. I BELIEVE THE REVERSE IS ALL ORIGINAL PAINT BUT THE FRONT WAS RETRORES AND PAINTED YANKEES/RED SOX. THE COLLECTOR HAD THE WOOD CHECKED FOR AGE AND WAS TOLD THAT LATE 19TH CENTURY/EARLY 29TH. THIS IS ALL THE INFO THAT I HAVE. EITHER WAY, LIKE LEON SAID
"A COOL PIECE" A GREAT ITEM FOR YOUR MAN CAVE.
