Stove Pipe Grate
Circular Stove or Heater vent grate, approximately 15 1/2" diameter. These were used to run wood stove or heating pipes from the lower floor to the upper floor. This came out of my 1870 Victorian Farmhouse, I found 2 more ornate ones at an Architectural Salvage place in Ann Arbor and updated mine.
It needs to be touched up just a bit and oiled again, I oil the ones in the house every 2 years, As this is steel a soft brass brush takes the surface rust right off. I believe I stripped the 20 coats of paint this thing had on it in the early 2000's. These Victorian pieces are works of art in their own right and I hope you enjoy it
Thanks for looking!

About Us
We sell antiques, collectables, clothes, oddities, household goods, records, and all sorts of fun things. We're an ordinary couple with full time jobs who love garage sales, auctions, estate sales, consignment stores, and thrift stores. We are always on the hunt for unique, vintage, and beautiful items.
Take a look around, our inventory is constantly changing. If you want to get to know us, visit our You Tube Channel The Adventures of Yorksie and Me.
Shipping
Our items are well packed, generally in NEW boxes, with plenty of bubble pack and peanuts.
We prefer to ship with the post office, offering Priority or Ground service. Modern automated postal handling machines are not kind to fine antiques and collectables, and despite our best efforts at diligent packaging we have had items destroyed, and a few have simply vanished. For this reason we will not ship any item with a value greater than $25 without adding insurance. As Ebay has no way to do this, the insurance is added as a handling fee.
Large heavy items we ship UPS ground. As we live 15 minutes from the nearest UPS store please be patient with us when purchasing a large, heavy item.
Any of our items are available for pickup at our Pinckney Michigan location. If you choose to pickup, either pay on Ebay or bring cash, we do not take checks.
If the item shows up damaged, destroyed, or doesn't show up at all YOU need to work with us, and the post office (or UPS).
We get a lot of complaints about shipping costs. We don't know what shipping cost you were quoted. Ebay quotes the shipping cost using post office or UPS API's that return the rates. When you purchase the item, we buy the shipping from Ebay, print the label, and drop it off to the post office or the UPS store. Please don't ask us to "reduce the shipping cost" - we can't. It is not under our control. You can complain that "our shipping cost is high" and we will be happy to listen but there is nothing at all we can do about it. Please don't counter offer with "X amount including shipping" as we do not know what your shipping cost is.
We do know through extensive research that the rate you get online, the rate you get at the counter, and the rate you get using a bulk shipper for any given package size and weight are completely different. Ebay's bulk shipping rates are lower than at the counter rates because they have large volune purchase agreements with all the major shippers.
Warranty
Nothing we sell is new. These are used items. Everything is sold AS-IS unless explicitly stated otherwise.
For electronic items we try to add a video so you can see that it works. Many of our electronic items are 20, 30, 40, even 80 years old, and they do not take kindly to being shipped. If it worked when it left our store, it worked when it left our store. If it doesn't work we will clearly state this in the description.
For Amatuer Radio gear that transmits we do not offer any returns.
