I have them both ways, personally I prefer them unrestored. It makes me think of them still in the stadium, who was first person to sit in it and who was the last. One aspect to consider is the paint on older seats tends to flake off easily, it could be lead based paint, a potential hazard for little kids and pets. I have a figural Polo Grounds seat that's been restored, it can be sat in safely without any issues which is pretty cool. One of these days I hope to find a seat from Ebbets Field and I actually have no preference whether it's restored or not. Either way, they're a great addition to a collection, they always draw attention.

I was also concerned about lead, so I bought a respirator to take them apart. I started restoring the plastic seats parts because they’re just gross. I really appreciate all the helpful info everyone has provided. Here’s what I have so far. Using a straight edge to scrape off the oxidation layer, followed by incremental grit sandpaper and eventually will buff with a wheel. |

I never could have imagined the yellow plastic would clean up so well!

It was a few hours of wet sanding but well worth it. |
