Birdbath
« on: January 19, 2017, 08:44:13 pm »
Hi everyone, My hubby has been building a property in center city Philadelphia. He brought this home for me today. A doctor bought the property. The house was originally built in the 1700's, but was redone in the 1800's. I'm assuming the birdbath is the 1800's. I'm guessing $150. from what I see.

Yes, I saw this. There are others. I think best $175. from what I see. I happen to have the perfect spot for it!

Love it!  In my neck of the woods a true Victorian piece would sell for $90 - $150 depending on condition.
