Just curious.

I checked out Irwin or American seating (I can't remember which) about 5 years ago and they were still offering the metal backed seet. I am a traditionalist and have always liked the metal backed seats. Wood backed are also nice but I dislike the plastic backed ones.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 11-19-2005 04:38 PM                        See if Irwin still makes "the Comet;" which is a metal backed seats. We sell them, but I, personally, have never sold one. (Sure take 'em out, though.)

Perhaps they are offered but not listed on their website. Mike  |  IP: Logged
