I have an old cast iron fireplace frame that looks to be from perhaps Victorian period that I need to sell and get out of my garage.  It is super heavy and really a gorgeous piece just I have no use for it.  Where would you suggest I take this to have it appraised and perhaps sell? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 4951

Maybe look for markings on it (like casting numbers or such) and hit up Google?  Also try looking on Ebay or similar sites.  Maybe a local historian or museum would know?  I would guess that is a pretty small and specific market, especially in Texas where it can't be used much (I doubt you would be willing to ship it).  In all reality, I would say to pick a price you are willing to part with it for and add15%.  That way if people try to negotiate down, you still get your asking price.  It may be worth a million dollars, but if there is only one person who is willing to pay that and you can't find them, is it really worth that much?  Post some pictures in here, I'd love to see it.  Can you maybe re-purpose it?  Turn it into a planter for ivy to climb?  4951

@MonkeyMom97: Reeves on 59 by the river might be able to appraise it for you.. She sometimes will purchase the item if interested.  You may be able to send her a picture after speaking to her...   Debbie Reeves is her name she is a client of ours...   Feel free to send a pic to robertbradshaw1012@yahoo.com  he is the auctioneer for Texas Auctioneers - and my husband..  He sometimes will buy items outright, if you are interested in consigning it into an auction just let him know - he can give you an idea of what it might birng... but it is an absolute auction so if consigned it will go to the highest bidder..    Good luck.
