Hot Rods Any Bomber Seat Experts ?

A buddy just dropped these off for me he found them in an old scrap yard lying in a weed patch. Can anyone identify what aircraft and vintage they are ? Thanks.

 

Don't know but wish they were in my garage.

 

Oh manThose are just old yard chairs. I'll come get them out if your way....those things are sick!!!!

 

what is the price of gold today........

 

Like to know also,I've got one real close in features.

 

Any data or data plates on them?

 

they look like late 50's early 60's ejection seats to me

 

Yeah, you'll be sitt'in on the chute.

 

A little earlier than that. They were using Martin-Baker Mk 7s by that time, pretty sophisticated piece of equipment.

Just hazarding a guess, maybe F-84 Thunderjet, or F-89 Scorpion, something like that? Early fifties, first generation? I checked F-86 and T-33/P-80, they are a little different than that. They look familiar, just cant put my finger on it.

 

F100?? pretty close

​

 

I've looked at a ton in the last half hour, so far all I have figured out is what they are not.

 

did you check armored vehicle seats? my ex brother in law [asswipe] had a sarasin [sp?] that had seats that looked like that. i tried to search but couldn't find anything.

 

I know a little about aircraft stuff, but I am lost on armoured vehicles. I am damn sure I have seen them before, I just cant place them!

 

They look like chopper seats. We have some very similar ones in the S61 sea kings.

Same style of vertical adjustment and similar mounting.

 

It looks mid to late 40's. Maybe a Boeing B-50. The B-50 had squared off tops on the seat like that. Many of the WWII seats had a rounded top on the seat back. It was before ejection seats. The void at the bottom is so you can sit on your parachute.
But I'm just guessing based on pictures I've seen. The lever on the side is so you can adjust the height of the seat, so it could be a fighter or trainer seat... I've looked at several too and it's not T-28, T-6, B-47, C-97/KC-97, B-36, F7F, Hellcat, or Panther

 

Definitely not for a Saracen or Saladin.

 

Hah! Those are most of the ones I looked at too + a bunch more! Didn't check the B-50. Dumprat could be on the right track, I didn't check any copters. I have just been doing quicky google searches so far, I will break out the books tomorrow.

 

Thanks everyone appreciate the guestimates. Let me know if you get it nailed down. No casting or stamps numbers anywhere I can find (yet).

 

I'm saying Rotor Craft

 

Don't recognize those either, but I know they're not ejection seats or from an F-89... Small lever on the side is for locking/unlocking the shoulder harness.

 

Looks like an "894" or maybe "094" ??? Very faded.

 

Did you ever find out what these seats came from?

 

What can't be found can always be made

PM me for any custom Bomber seat wants/needs

 

Still trying to nail down what aircraft they came from ??? They will soon make their way into my 34' but it sure would be nice to know what they originated from. Thanks .
