    A cool find last night!

    Last night I went for a walk to pick up a newspaper about 9:30, just a couple blocks from my house, didn't have intentions of looking for scrap. Well I decided to detour down an ally and look in a dumpster. I have looked in this dumpster many times with no luck. I found and old American Gas Machine Co radiant heater. It is heavier then H3ll when you have to carry it home, lol. Here's a link to one up on ebay. This is exactly like the one I found. Mine might be in a little better shape. The top is cast.

    Sweet find.

    Are you going to ebay it, or is it scrap?

    I'm not going to scrap it. I am going to try and sell it. I will try to contact some Antique dealers to see what they will offer.
