I am thinking that you can get the scrap iron going rate at the salvage yard. You may be able to get a little more if you post them on Facebook Marker Place, Craig's list ,or eBay. But as a professional contractors, I find that these things turn up on a regular basis and for the most part we call the scrap metal man and let him take them off our hands for free. But if the price of cast iron is low, the scrap man may charge to remove that from the job site.

Are you willing to guarantee that they are leak free and do you offer delivery?

The tube one is interesting and may get some money. The others ? Meh.

The ornate one was made by H.B. Smith, and looks like their Royal Union model. It's definitely the oldest of the three- these decorative units were last made around 1920.

The silver one is a large-tube type, which was made between about 1925-1938.

The white one is a small-tube type, possibly an Arco which was made by American Radiator Co. This type of radiator came out around 1938, and some companies are still making them.

If we know how tall these rads are, we can tell their heating capacity.
