Just getting around to posting this, no it was not a metal detector find.
Story goes last fall i was visiting my parents and stayed over night at their house. I woke up to my dad letting me know an estate sale down the street had several tools which i should check out. I grabbed $20 and headed on over. Really didnt see much in the way in tools but buried in the garage i saw what at first looked like the sides of an old one room school house style desk. I almost didnt look further, but i do appreciate rusty metal. Looking closer i noticed the lage "C" on the side and thought "could this be a Cincinati Reds stadium seat in Minnesota?". The set was marked for $25 but it being the last day of the sale, everything was half off, so a grand total of $12.50. When i payed the estate sale lady, she told me the family was originally from ohio which really had me excited. I got home and sure enough, its the stantions from a seat from the former Crosley Field. The same field to hold baseball's first night game, and many of he greats. The fact i has the "C" means its a figural aisle end seat, and they appear to be pretty sought after. Deffinitly my favorite estate sale find. Im sure the odds are slim, but did any one have the opportunity to watch a game in Crosley Field before it was torn down?
