Wrought Iron Bench

[Raven31557]

This bench is from the early 1900's.
I'm the 5th or 6th generation owning it.
It needs to be sand blasted and repainted
There's one identical to it at the White House.
Any idea at all what it might be worth as is?

Glad to be back!!
It did have a plate on it at one time, but that's gone.
I don't remember what it said.
If I do find a buyer, they'll have to dig it out of the ground.
hahaha

and how in the world did you remember my name??

Thanks. haha
I have a friend who says he will dig it out for me.
I lost my brother to cancer 1.5 years ago.
That's why I kinda disappeared for awhile.

and I didn't know Leslie Caron was a member here!!
