Antique Questions Forum / Brass Mail Sorting Slot Doors
« on: December 27, 2012, 09:08:26 pm »
This mail sorting station was installed at a California mobile home park in the early 1960s. There are around 130 doors. Most of them have keys.
Since it is such a large, specialized piece, I am thinking that perhaps I should dismantle it and sell the doors individually on eBay. Two men cannot lift it. It can't really be used for storage (IE. the worlds most awesome spice rack) because the compartments all slant downward toward the doors.
What would be the most profitable way to sell this? How much could I get? Also, should I clean up the brass, or just leave it as is. Some have green tarnish.
Thanks!
