So I recently bought an older house in Massachusetts and these were in one of the fire places. I've seen some on antique websites and I've seen some on ebay. These are in great shape. Any ideas on who would buy them? Thing is I have 2 small boys and these are like toys in front of the fire.... not real smart, huh! So I'd like to sell or reallyI'd prefer to trade them for something interesting. Thanks ahead of time for your input.

I would check to see if they are re-painted....for one hundred years old they show know sign of normal wear or fireplace use....

The pair below sold for 850.00
So if yours are not repainted or a reproduction then good news for you!!
