RE: Brick collector needed - 8/14/2006 11:00:57 AM    JGUIS   Posts: 1700 Joined: 3/18/2006 From: New Lexington, OH Status: offline I'll add them as I find them.  This and surrounding counties are well known for their clay products.  I find them all the time, but these are from just 2 different creeks.  Erosion dumps if you will, along the bank next to a bridge.  If anyone nearby collects these, drop me a line and I'll show you the spots, there are hundreds, and there are at least 4 other names that I only found half or broken pieces of that I will go back soon and try to find whole ones.  Thanks for looking. _____________________________ A pipe gives a wise man time to think, and gives a fool something to stick in his mouth.

RE: Brick collector needed - 8/14/2006 2:01:08 PM    diggerjeff Posts: 555 Joined: 7/4/2004 From: central illinois Status: offline in the recent past there have been a few bricks sold on ebay. none have brought much money. they are usually common for the most part. some are uncommon for geographic reasons. the i.b.c.a. is a good and about the only source for info .on bricks. my father and my son both are early members in this org.. it is a very social club that meets several or more times a year to swap bricks and tell tall tales of brick hunting. most of the members  try to keep $$$$ out of the picture, most all bricks are traded. my father has over 5000 named bricks in his collection and i would doubt if any were bought. as a matter of fact alot of the members dont want a dollar value associated with bricks, they would rather just trade and socolize. best bet for identification is to forward a pic to the i.b.c.a.   i know a lot of them personaly ,they are a great bunch of people, im sure they will either help you or suck you into there hobby!!!!!!! _____________________________ diggerjeff I DIG, THEREFORE I AM.

RE: Brick collector needed - 8/15/2006 10:33:44 AM    madpaddla Posts: 2660 Joined: 12/29/2005 From: The great state of New England Status: offline I believe in past posts those were called "Talking Bricks".  Sold in the area of $10 - $20.  Sorry about mentioning the dollar value.  But that has to be for the rarer ones.  Another thing as you both mentioned is that there are tens of thousands of these embossed bricks.  The rarer ones are the ones that go for any value.  Or in your dads case a collection of them.  Very interesting thread.  I even found a thread here on the forum of bricks that someone posted.  The folks around here like to put them in walk ways, etc.  Someone I gave a brick to was a distant ancestor of the founder of the brick company.  And with the age and durability they look real nice.  And if bottle collectors could  be more like brick collectors.....less on monetary value and more on just the glass and its history....oh what a world.  Thanks for sharing.                              Ben _____________________________ It pays to look down.

I went to the Patton PA homepage and they're selling them for 10¢ ea but you have to pick them up. Interesting reading though, They were a huge company and some were even used in the Panama Canal. _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back.
