"Please correct me if I am wrong, but like I said I will keep this item listed on auction whether or not I am wrong or right."
That's comforting.

I have a feeling an otherwise no-name seat is going to sell for 10x it's true value!

I can not comment on authenticity in this area of collecting, but I did not like the disclaimer as noted in my previous post. It seems as though the seller is using only the patent date and the "CR" logo to jump to his/her conclusion as to the piece's origin. Who's not to say that this wasn't a seat in a railroad station (i.e. "C_______ Railroad")? Or perhaps it is from Cedar Rapids, Iowa (which is much closer to the seller's home in Nebraska than Cincinnati is). I'd certainly love to hear others' opinions on this.
Also, have any artifacts from this park actually survived? I was under the impression that everything was engulfed in the fire. Anyone? Last edited by BillyCoxDodgers3B; 06-06-2009 at 08:49 AM.

Interesting...she says she got it at an estate sale in Lincoln. I asked her a few questions about it...I'll relay them here if she answers. IMO that "C" could easily be a "G" which would then probably stand for "Grand Rapids" where it was made. It's probably just a theater seat.
