Casey Jones seat

We have a metal car seat frame that has the name Casey Jones stamped on each arm rest. It appears to be an old coach seat with the flip over back. Does anyone know anything about this seat? Thanks.

Bob; There is a fellow near here who at one time
accumulated a lot of RR items and who knew Casey's widow. The sticker is that due to his RR interest,
railroaders started calling him "Casey Jones". It stuck and to this day he gets mail under that name.
My thought is that the seat might be something from his collection . If it appears that this could be the case, I'll give him a call and get
his verification.
