Buddy describes these as
"benches 11 & 12 from Sealtest (on Bridge Street) in my
basement! They need rebuilding and I will get that done one day. When
Sealtest closed the guy who bought the building turned it into a used car
lot. (Sad.) He just took everything out and piled it in the parking lot.
Whoever wanted it could come and get it, the remainder went to the dump I
guess. I didn't hear about it until after the fact so I missed getting
anything. I later tracked down a set of the seats and bought them. Don't
know where the rest went. The idiot who gave that stuff away should
have realized that if he would have had an auction, he could have made
some pretty good money, I would think. No telling what I would have paid
for the seats! 500 bucks would not have been out of the question. They
were still in good shape then and not needing repairs, the ones I finally
got had been sitting outside semi-covered for over 6 months and had
deteriorated right much." |
