Old Railway Train Streetcar Trolley Conductor Seat



 









DescriptionNO RESERVE




This auction is for a very Old Streetcar / Trolley Conductors Seat. I bought this seat a few years ago with the intent of using it as the throne for a model railroad empire that I was planning to build (another one of those great ideas that never developed) I was told this seat was removed from an old Street car that came from the Pittsburgh, PA area. This wonderful old Conductors seat comes complete with its original cast iron base that has about 98% of its original green paint intact and in great shape, It also has its original mounting plate. The seat has a wooden and steel frame that is covered with a very thick leather type material that is red in color and appears to be 100% original. The seat spins 360 degrees and is well built and very sturdy, This is a seat that was built to last!







This unique find is quite compact as I am sure space on a street car was limited, The entire assembled seat stands approx 31 inches to the top of the backrest, The pedestal base stands 16 & 5/8ths inches tall and measures 7 X 7 inches at the foot of the base, The seat bottom is approx 13 & 1/4 inches wide and about 13 inches long, And the seat back is approx 13 X 13. This wonderful old Conductors Seat is in remarkable condition for its age and will make the perfect addition to any railroad, Train, or railway collection, If you like unusual Railroadiana then this is for you! Successful bidder to pay $35.00 for insured Shipping (sorry, This seat is heavy and UPS rates are high!)... Continental U.S. Only All others may be higher ... Thanks for Looking and good luck bidding!
