Victorian cast-iron fireplaces.
Just removed a Victorian cast-iron fireplace from one of the bedrooms in my
son's house. Is there any real market in these things - or is a scrap metal merchants the best place to recover a few quid? -- Kev |

Architectural salvage it's called not scrap metal. Heh Heh!
Definately worth a few bob these days. Look in yellow pages for above. |

Look on Ebay for something similar, to find the asking price. If you look for completed sales, you'll see how much they actually fetched. -- Cheers, Roger ____________ Please reply to Newsgroup.

To get the best price you might have to flog it to the luvvies somewhere in the Arty-Farty effete South. Archway RD. , Highgate, somewhere like that. Once, heading for the M1 whilst waiting at traffic lights somewhere there I noticed an antique shop that apparently made a living selling Flat - Irons. Can't understand it we've had the electric here for ages. Derek G |

Their main use these days is for branding northern servants, as they are increasingly of some modest value for some reason. |

They are the best way to stop bacon curling up on the griddle, so your bacon butty is nice and easy to munch. -- Tciao for Now! John. |
