looking for salvage bricks
Our contractor is having a hard time locating bricks to match those on the facade of our Carroll Gardens brick house. Anyone know sources for salvage bricks? Anyone have any sitting around I could take/buy? I probably need about 75 bricks. Thanks.

there are 200+ old bricks stacked neatly outside my building here on bergen / court street. they were removed from the vacant warehouse next door by my super and his workers.
they have been there for over 2 months easy. i don’t know what, if anything, they have planned for them but maybe they will hook you up. email me if interested cf80q at yahoo dot com.
There are almost always used bricks for sale posted on craigslist.
I had to match old bricks and we did a combination of two colors of new bricks. I’ll get the name for you. I have to ask my architect.
As to the size: The bricks on my house range from 7-3/4″ to 8-1/4″ long. So, I think anything in that range would work.
Our chimney guy seems to have a good source for them because we needed a bunch for our fireplace work. Jason at Big Apple Chimney. I don’t know what he’d charge, if anything but he’s cool and has been doing great work for us this week in our own CG fixer upper.
Are you trying to match a standard size brick? Some of the old ones are longer and handmade.
