Senna 735 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 A seat from Ibrox stadium believed to date from the 1920s is being auctioned in Glasgow this week.The oak and cast-iron seat was retrieved when the Glasgow Rangers' ground was being upgraded in the 1970s.McTear's Auctioneers said it was hoped seat No 258 could fetch up to £300 on Thursday.The lot has been put in by an anonymous seller. Valuers at the auction house said they quickly realised it was a rare piece of club memorabilia.Brian Clements, from the auctioneers, said: "Over the years we have sold some fantastic pieces of sports memorabilia, including signed shirts, footballs and even Faberge eggs."But I can safely say this is the first time a stadium seat has come to auction."When the seller, who has asked to remain anonymous, brought it in, we quickly realised that this was a rare piece of memorabilia from a very important era in Rangers' history."I have no doubt it will attract a fair bit of interest at auction."The furniture and collectables sale will be held at McTear's on Thursday.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-14189102 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I would be surprised if the club didn't attempt to buy it. I'm sure it could be used somewhere in the stadium. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
