Brass Mail Sorting Slot Doors

[Expert Opinion]

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!

To try and sell this as a whole...would in my opinion be a disaster...these Doors would sell individually..of that i,m sure....as for polishing them ...leave that to the buyer...and save yourself a lot of work....as to their value....well...fac tor in what they cost you?....then check out what a run of the mill letter box cover costs...then work it out from there...because after all ..they are different....and everybody likes something different....
