I like the two different styles of legs.

The legs seem the same to me, it's just that someone attached a strip of wood to one of them. Probably to keep it from scratching the floor wherever they had it after it was in wherever it was.

It seems a bit lightly built compared to most stadium seating, but the style of the legs seems more Victorian/Eastlake style maybe 1880's

I don't think it's Yankees related at all, but it is cool in its own way.
Just not 7500 cool.

Although, even in the mid 80's I saw some insane prices decorators in NY could get for things.

I live in NY so if I make it then it it is from Yankees

I've got several fixtures scattered about my house from China.

Pretty sure that's rock solid provenance this decorative birdhouse was lifted directly from The Forbidden City.

I think I also might have a flat screen that was pulled deep from the bowels of The Great Wall.

Nah, none of the pics I can easily find in my lazy google search show seats anything like that at Hilltop park.

I didn't check the three different polo grounds but did try on the st georges cricket grounds :D:D:D

"I don't know if it came from The Yankees, but there is a possibility since it was purchased in New York."

Gold.

Probably from a train station since it once had armrests separating the seats. I like the new stenciled numbers. Not even an attempt to age them.

I am guessing the barrels in the background of the photo were purchased in Baltimore so they must/could/may be from the bar Babe Ruth's dad owned...
