Interesting question. I'm not certain of the answer other than provenance.
I've got three seats, with varying provenance.
Fulton County - (how's that for a coincidence?) Sold to a minor league park, then bought by a dealer in bulk much later. This pair came with a nice folder with copies of letters etc documenting the whole thing, as well as one with the technical specs of the color matching for the restoration.
Fenway Park - No paperwork, but bought in 82 before stadium seats got much notice. From a Boston area town flea market. The woman said her husband had worked on a Fenway renovation in the early 70's and brought it home instead of throwing it out like he was supposed to. It's fenway green, and matches others that were in the park the last time I was there.
Arlington Stadium - Pretty much nothing except that's how it was described in the club auction where I bought it. It's a pretty beat red plastic seat. It's also pretty generic so I suppose it could be from somewhere else.
