That is a fantastic piece! Was the copper dome bare copper at any point? I see it's painted in both restorations.

Fantastic! Congratulations. I remember seeing the one owned by the Smithsonian displayed in the National Museum of American History some years back.

Congratulations Kevin! I'm a Mets guy here in NYC but that is just about the coolest piece of Yankee Stadium memorabilia I have ever seen.

Keep the grafiti! Minimal Restoration!

Congrats again.

Please, whatever you do... Do not restore it!
Its gorgeous with tons of character as is....
Plus, the graffiti hits pictured are some very early 70's examples when writing in New York was in it's infancy. The majority of "tags" from that era have all been eradicated aside from a few examples underground and in abandoned lines and stations. This early graffiti is so culturally important to the city's history, and should be saved by all means necessary.
Again... Amazing find!! ....please keep it as is. ☺
Just my two cents...

Agree. "Tagging in its infancy" is very cool.
