Right now it looks like a simple cut piece of tin was inserted at some point.
Well, Vaccaro didn’t have an insert that worked, and Eddie’s was not open yesterday (too bad).
I’ll hopefully make it out to Eddie’s some point this week.
Orrsuz and Greenwoodgeneral — we are also looking for a fireplace insert for our house, and would be interested to see what you have. Please email me any photos/details at tzaluv@yahoo.com. Thanks!
OMG, this has been great. Thank you so much for all the tips.
Orrsuz, Greenwoodgeneral, would love to see what you have although it does sound like in any event a replacement won’t be too expensive. How can I contact both of you?
Going4broke, not sure we want to keep it. Looks pretty crappy and bent (you can’t tell from the photo), and is incidentally the only one like this. Rest are more ornate inserts, and clearly years ago someone broke or otherwise yanked it out of this fireplace.
In our bedroom and just getting a new insert to put in would be a great finishing touch.
t on Grand and Greene is always the most resonable, and vacarro’s iron under the F train, in the Lowe’s parking lot has alot too.
Dibs the shops in Bed Stuy are on Thomkins and Jefferson. Op they have these instock for less than 100 bucks.
Some, like my husband and a few work associates, might say I fit that profile, DIBS!
🙂
we actually have one of these lying around in the backyard which we have no use for. If you’d be interested in taking a look post an email and I’ll provide details……
I was able to find pier mirror and mantle accessories on Atlantic between nevins and smith street. No shop stands out among the many but you never know what your going to find there. Also found a number of good items on 5th ave and 15th street, place called ‘Time’ gallery.
There is a salvage guy on Green Ave and I think Grand. He is right in front of the 52 bus stop. He has them…all shapes and sizThere is a salvage guy on Green Ave and I think Grand. He is right in front of the 52 bus stop. He has them…all shapes and sizes too. last I check they were 100 bucks or so. I don’t recall his name but if you drive down Greene Ave in Clinton Hill headed towards BED-Stuy you’ll see him. He has a garage loaded with great finds.es too. last i check they were 100 bucks or so.
