Looking for Front Doors
Does anyone know of any good salvage yards in the city? I'm looking for some new doors for my brownstone. They should look like the doors pictured.

Spindles Available
Can anybody tell me the easiest/most lucrative way to part with a couple dozen original solid wood spindles? They are painted but in good condition, about 20-24 inches long. Thanks in advance. Is there a market for these?

In Search of Bricks
Hi, I am looking for real bricks, preferably old ones. I can pick them up, I can dig them out of the ground, etc. Broken bricks are OK but would prefer some full ones as well. I'm in Clinton Hill and have a minivan so I can pick up from other neighborhoods. Thanks!

Mahogany Mantle For Sale
The base of the mantle is about 5.5’ and it fit around a masonry opening/projection/chimney that was 5’3” wide by 4” deep.
Has already been carefully disassembled.
See March 7, 2008 10:01AM forum posting for a picture of the front view. I have another side view pic that shows a little bit more detail that I (annoyingly) could seem to upload.
Located in Park Slope.
Contact me (917-365-4195) if you're interested.
Thanks.

Fair Price for Mahogany Mantle?
We are trying to sell this mahogany mantlepiece. One of the architectural salvage places is interested in buying it, but is asking us what we want for it. Any ideas what a fair price for this would be? Thanks in advance for your input.
Cast Iron Fireplace Surrounds & Covers

I will also include lots of old door knobs and brass parts. $200 and pick it up in Brooklyn Heights this weekend. Email Buyer723 at aol.com

original door with venetian frosted glass
Original door with Italian frosted venetian glass for sale. Already taken out and replaced. 25 3/8 by 81 3/8, 1 3/4 wide. Currently covered with white paint. If stripped and refinished, will look great and is a real treasure. Also, 2 wood window panes with the same glass, probably not worth restoring as the wood is slightly damages but the glass itself should be worth something. Best offer in cash gets it. Pick up in Sunset Park. Not the best picture but you can get the idea
