What we have here is a 1887-1938 Baker Bowl stadium seat in pretty nice condition for its age. The stadium was built in 1887 by Philadelphia Phillies owners AJ Reach and John Rogers. The ballpark cost $80,000 to build and had a capacity of 12,500. In that dead ball era the outfield was enclosed by a relatively low wall all around. The seat says Baker Bowl Press on it and has the fancy "B" on it. It is approximately 34" tall and 14" wide. In addition to being the home of the Phillies, it was also the home of the Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL from 1933-1935.
