Antique Radiators For Sale

I recently removed six old radiators from a late 1800's house on Staten Island. The one pictured ( more available ) was restored and is operational in my dining room. If interested contact me @ 917 692 2883

Thanks for the specs on the heating aspects of this radiator.
I had a plain vanilla steam radiator with a cover and shelves around the corner of my dining room. Now the radiator is a bit of a conversation piece since everyone can see it when seated at the table. More importantly, without the cover, I feel the room gets warmer faster since no heat is blocked by the radiator cover. Also I'll never need to paint it (cover) again.

For those inquiring about Restoration. After getting some outlandish estimates I thought I'd give it a go myself especially since I have two of these, the same size. It took some time after work and on Saturday mornings but I think it was worth the effort. I'm right now restoring a slightly larger radiator also for my home so if anyone would like to discuss further drop me a line or give me a call. BTW I also had to convert this from hot water to steam. Thanks

I just had a radiator refinished by the Tinker's Wagon and he did a fantastic job. He also refinished a fireplace insert. Both came back looking spectacular. Can't say enough about the service.
He also did some molding work for me, and that also turned out great - so I know he's versatile.

His rate for the radiator was $100 per section, and he charged $250 for the fireplace insert, which had a lot of detail.

His web site is www.thetinkerswagon.com and phone is 347-813-9635.
