This pair of original foundation or floor grates were salvaged from an old memphis midtown antebellum home .  Some of these were concreted into the front porch concrete and some were pulled out of the hard wood floors in the house.  These are original heavy duty one inch thick cast iron grates.  They are undamaged however the edges show the imperfections of the casting process of their time.  They have surface rust and need a good cleaning or blasting and repainting or clear coat to maintain the cast iron appearance. They are not warped, cracked or broken and are ready for install after cleaning and or painting whichever the new owner prefers. They measure  11 and one quarter inches by 8 inches by one inch thick. This auction is for the pair.
