RE: are engraved and embossed bricks worth anything? - 5/22/2005 8:28:29 PM    whiskeyman Posts: 2012 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline FRANK...never sold the 1st brick yet. The way I understand it, Brick Collectors just swap with each other...but if some scarce & desirable brick was to come along, I guess they'd make monetary offers....I wouldn't have the slightest idea how to price any brick. RAZOR...I imagine if you were to set up at flea markets or have a yard sale, you could sell single bricks....the serious collectors usually only want a single example of a brick for their collection, though they also may purchase more than one of an example as a trader. Someone wanting to make a patio or walkway may be looking for multiple examples of the same brick.... Me...I don't care if they're the same or not...I think assorted types/names/textures/colorations make for a nice contrast. (in reply to RazorsEdge) Post #: 23

I'll send ya one if ya pay shipping.... (I think this is why the collectors mostly swap...too expensive to ship.) (in reply to RazorsEdge) Post #: 25

RE: are engraved and embossed bricks worth anything? - 5/25/2005 9:35:12 AM    diggerjeff Posts: 555 Joined: 7/4/2004 From: central illinois Status: offline try contacting the IBCA INTERNATIONAL BRICK COLLECTORS ASSOCIATION. my father has been a member for about 15 years. it is an interesting group of people who have 4 or 5 swap meets per year. we hosted one at my fathers house several years back. dad has 3 or 4 thousand bricks from all over the world. this group of people have tried to keep this hobby free ,meaning they would preffer to trade bricks rather than sell them. i have noticed that a few pop up on ebay from time to time, but very few will ever realize high dollar because most are very common. if anyone is interested in this organization let me know and i will get you some contacts!!! _____________________________ diggerjeff I DIG, THEREFORE I AM.

RE: are engraved and embossed bricks worth anything? - 5/27/2005 1:25:19 AM    KentOhio   Posts: 688 Joined: 9/13/2004 Status: offline Hey DigDug, What's a Minerva, Ohio block doing in Atlanta? That's weird. On Ebay a few weeks ago I spotted a lead thing, like a stamp. Turns out it was for putting the impressions on paving blocks. It was for a well-known block that seems to be everywhere, the 1893 Columbian Exposition block. The stamp sold for about $50. (in reply to RazorsEdge) Post #: 31

Will take a pic & post later...I think they are both Ohio bricks....memory fails me at the moment. _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc....and...

RE: are engraved and embossed bricks worth anything? - 6/13/2005 6:54:36 AM    digdug Posts: 606 Joined: 11/4/2004 From: Atlanta Status: offline Hey KentOhio, Well- I imported the Minerva Blocks to Atlanta. I have family in Minerva, whenever I go up I look for bottles, etc., but usually only end up with bricks! I have actually seen Minerva Block and other Ohio bricks on ebay a few years ago. I didn't bid because postage was a killer on it! Heavy items to mail! (in reply to RazorsEdge) Post #: 33

RE: are engraved and embossed bricks worth anything? - 6/20/2005 8:57:35 PM    Gunsmoke47 Posts: 1157 Joined: 12/29/2003 From: TEXAS Status: offline Hey Ya'll, I dug this awhile back at an 1870's-1880's site in Texas. It was under 4 feet of dirt at a Military Fort. Just curious if any of ya'll have ever seen one. The only Bristol bricks I could come up with is over the big pond and that sure is a long way from Texas. Any and all info on this brick is appreciated. Thanks, and Happy Diggin, Kelley P.S.
