Radiators -- free to any home

I have three cast-iron radiators that need to go as soon as possible. They are in a dilapidated garage that has to come down this winter, and I have nowhere else to store them and no immediate need for them.
They were rescued from a scrap pile during renovations to one of the 19th-century buildings at the University of Baltimore a few years ago. They have been stored outside and will need to be sandblasted, but the lovely decorative pattern cast into the tops of the sections should survive the process. They are set up for steam; a higher vent hole would need to be drilled and tapped for hot-water usage. Steam/water-tightness is unknown: there do not appear to be any cracks, but these things were not exactly handled kindly by the demo guys, if y'know what I mean.
There are three radiators, all narrow 2-column, bottom-piped, with 11, 12, and 13 sections. There is also a 5-column, 9-section hot-water radiator (top/bottom piped) that is likewise free for the taking, but beware that one foot is broken off and will need to have something brazed on to replace it.
The radiators are located in Baltimore City, just north of the Maryland Zoo. I can help load, but will not deliver. Bring your truck and a strong back. If no one wants these, I will have to call a local scrapper to take them, and I would by far rather see them restored and used.
Thanks,
Brian
