Nice! Just the back? Looks like they cut it off the right hand end?

It was part of the bleachers that were in the outfield. They were replaced in the early 80s. The seat measures 19 inches by about 10 inches.

Some very cool items.
Rob, I love those lighters. Great items. I imagine those are pretty tough to come by.

I managed to pick up a lot of misc White Sox items that includes a 1959 Team Photo pennant and assorted photos and papers. I think people don't often look through the details for auction lots or they would have seen some cool stuff in there.

Amongst them were the letter by Bill Veeck below and a letter to Rudy Schaffer where he sets out the finances necessary to buy the St Louis Browns. It also includes White Sox front office staff payroll info and more.
