Antique Questions Forum / Re: NYSE Seat--Info anyone???

ironlord,
Thanks for the input. I think this thing is just too cool and looks great in my basement 'man cave', and will be keeping it for myself. I was just kind of curious as far as IF I decided to part with it, what might I get for it?
Again, thanks for taking the time to reply, as well as for the info.
Best,
Jay

Is there an antique/collectibles market for Stock Exchange memorabilia?

Antique Questions Forum / NYSE Seat--Info anyone???

Need help on this one...
I acquired this today via the Craigslist 'Free' listing, but now can't find any information on it. I think it's a pretty cool addition to my collection, but would like to know more about it, including the possible value.
This is supposedly a seat from the New York Stock Exchange, mounted to a stand and presented to a guy name George W. Lutes on April 18, 1973 in honor of 46 years of service to the NYSE. That tells me that this guy worked at the NYSE from roughly 1927 until 1973. Which would, of course, include the Great Depression. The following is what I know (directly from the Craigslist ad):
genuine stock exchange chair. authentic specialists chair #1367. says 'authentic specialists chair' and 'for 46 years of service on the New York Stock Exchange'. it was presented to George W. Lutes for 46 years of service on April 18, 1973.
The brass plaque actually reads:
"Authentic Specialist's Chair
#1367
Presented by
Office of Secretary
to
George W. Lutes
on April 18, 1973
In Recognition of 46 Years of
Professional Service to
The New York Stock Exchange Inc"
If anyone can give me any info at all about this find, I would sure appreciate it.
