Old fireplace identification
I've got a couple of old fireplaces in my garage which came from a
house I converted into flats a few years ago. I want to get rid of them to clear the garage out, but I don't know how to identify them to determine if they're worthless junk or something I could ebay. Does anyone have any pointers, or words that I could usefully google as a starting point? Pictures are he http://s1021.photobucket.com/user/ro...ary/Fireplaces I think they are victorian or edwardian based on the age of the building, but that's about it. |

Do a search on ebay for prices of similar, then sell on ebay or gumtree, or both. |

That ebay search for victorian cast iron fireplace picked up a few similar to what I've got, which gives me a place to start. |

I sold one for £600 IIRC. -- A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes. |

Where are you and what are the exact sizes, I am looking for a couple like that. (I have LV/Edwardian house but missing fireplaces) -- djc (–€Ì¿Ä¹Ì¯–€Ì¿ Ì¿) No low-hanging fruit, just a lot of small berries up a tall tree. |

I bought one similar to the non-tiled after watching ebay for a while. They do sell, but don't expect a great deal - I paid £10 IIRC. -- Cheers, Rob |
