Shakespeare seat boxes

[Trampster]

Thought about getting a seat box some time ago, but with not much dosh coming in, decided I couldn't really afford one. And then a free one popped up on the local Freecycle site - aha, tis now mine!

Reason for the post is that it is definitely Shakespeare, but tis Green. Never seen a Green one before! It's like new, but basic with just the strap - no trays or other goodies. If I was to purchase some trays or a Breakaway seat back conversion for it, does anybody know how it compares in dimensions to the (I assume) newer Blue & Black boxes? A brief history lesson explaining the differences & evolution of Shakespeare seat boxes would be much appreciated! ???

As @Ollieollie says, green ones are just the same as the blue. I didn’t realise they were worth anything. I’ve got a green one (with trays and strap, but no back rest) in the garage that I nearly threw out in the last clean out.

Don’t throw it out! You’d regret it

They came in Blue, Black and Green.
All breakaway accessories for the original box will fit.

Thanks Ollie! Need to find some trays for it, or make some out of Ply. Ones I have seen for sale are not cheap!

You could throw the trays my direction! ??

Trays are gay - real men just chuck everything in a heap in the box ??‍

I keep telling myself that but it’s stood in roughly the same place for over 25 years now.

That is by far the subtlest coming out I have ever heard!
