There is a market for pavers. I get .50 - $2.00 each depending on condition & color. That's for the commons.
Landscapers love them for driveways,sidewalks,flower beds ect..

Bricks marked "Don't Spit On Sidewalk" are pretty good,Or at least they were.I can remember my grandmother selling them in the 1980's for between 40 and 50 dollars.

The Pyro Steel are fire brick used in fire places. The other white/light colored brick are probable fire brick too. The older the brick the more it is worth. I have a friend here who buys my older local "talking bricks' for $25 each. He gives me $10 for the later ones. They have to be whole and in good shape.

There is a local collector somewhere around you. Ask around at antique shops.

I removed the old brick chimney from my house last summer when I put a new roof on, and was going to make a patio out of the good ones this fall.  I'll more than likely use one of each of the talking bricks in it, well, just because, but all the dupes need a home too.  See, it always works out like that.  50 bucks for a brick, but if I found one that said Don't spit, there's no way I'd give it up. The Pyros are wedges, maybe dome kilns?  I went and looked at some of the streets in town which are still brick(after my dad told me about a difference in the brick) and the streets on hills have a taper or wedge shape rather than the flat faced pavers used on the level streets to increase a horses traction.  Learned something, ha ha.

I might just know someone who can help you out. I myself have seen a few over the years also. I dismantled Pre-Civil War buildings. I have probably close to 50 different bricks hand made and written in scrafito (sp) and debossed machine mades.

Huh, I never thought of that.  I was thinking they were reverse printing blocks.  You know, the kind for putting messages on the front of vehicles so you can read them in your rear view mirror.  Of course the title should've tipped me off, being as I wrote it.

As a matter of fact, there's a new book published just about Ohio bricks. It's by Don Dzuro. I almost checked it out of the bottle club library last week. It has lots of pictures.

JGUIS, might that OBA brick say "prison made"?  I've seen some prison bricks before.
