4 Beautiful Beasts

These beauties are in a building that is being gutted right now. They will probably be coming out with in the next week, headed for the trash. I am not that motovated by them to lug their heavy asses out. I already got the 2 shorter(lighter) ones that were in bath rooms. Rad 4 is on the street level. The other 3 are on the 1st level up the stoop in the brown stone.
I can't find my EDR book to find out who made them.
Anyways anyone interested, the building is in the South End of Boston.
Any takers send me an email.
BTW I am not responsible for the removel just draining the system down so the demo guys can take them out (so I am not trying to skate on heavy work).
Would be nice if they get a second chance to keep some one warm because they sure are pretty.

    The first pic and Rad3-1

    are flue radiators, and the others are ornate column. They look like they were made by American Radiator Co around 1900 or so. I have no storage space available at the moment- otherwise I'd grab them myself!

    Old Soldiers

    A noble effort to rescue these fine soldiers who've stood their post for a century. Paul, I hope they make it to the sidewalk for you and are resurrected for another century or two.

    If Kev were to treat you as a subcontractor for a day and pay you a minimal wage - say $1 buck, I wonder if that would circumvent the GC's concerns? You get Kev a certificate of insurance so he's covered & those old beauties will radiate once again. The GC suffers not one bit as you will be removing a potential source of liability from his scope of work. Suppose someone under his contract, such as a junk hauler, is not insured properly (very few are) and hurts themselves or, worse yet, someone else. The liability will rest with the GC & he'll be the responsible party. You'd be doing him a huge favor!
