Radiator Covers

Are old antique(?) radiator covers still of interest to some folks?
I have 4. Assume what you would call "factory-made" ones. They are different dimensions, but all the same style. I realize these probably are unlikely to be something a body would travel hundreds of miles to obtain. I would hate to just toss them, and there is no architectural salvage place around here. Do they have any kind of value? I am located 40 miles west of Peoria, Illinois.

I found one in the basement that I didn't know I had, so there are 5 of them
If anyone is close enough to me you can just have them free for coming.0 -
I just purchase a few of similar size for $600- 900.00 each. Those look to be in great shape and worth picking up.0

These are in excellent shape. The one in the second photo had plants sitting on it and as can be seen there is a little moisture damage on the top0

Luckily, not only does mine have no problem with bare cast iron radiators, but she's also ok with me painting them flat black in the future for increased IR output.SlamDunk said:
And I have a wife who likes to decorate- so I don't get an opinion.psb75 said:Myself, I prefer the look--and the superior function-- of the bare radiator in all circumstances.
Personally, I wouldn't tolerate covers, I can't stand them.Single pipe 392sqft system with an EG-40 rated for 325sqft and it's silent and balanced at all times.
