Does anyone have or know where I can get old bricks for rebuilding my brownstone mantle?

theres a difference between regular “old” bricks as you call them…aka “salvage” bricks and make sure you use the right brick for the right work. Bricks used in mantles and fireplaces are generally called “fire bricks”, there made to withstand the high heat and not crack or deteriorate over the years as ordianry bricks.
