I have an original "small bedroom type", frame only, that I purchased from a scrap yard 25 years ago sitting in my garage. I remember purchasing two at the time from a huge selection for about £100 each. They were so nice that I wanted to purchase the lot, restore them and keep them as an investment.!!! I also remember spending a lot of money on nitromors in an effort to peel off the layers of paint that had built up over the years, even getting down to discovering candle wax on one of the layers. One of them replaced an old 1950's tile fireplace in my last home. The smaller one I had intended to use as a "decorative" feature in a hallway of my last home but never got around to doing it. You say that they are selling for up to €2500 each now?....Hmmm!!...maybe I should have purchased the lot...better than money in the bank...or Eircom shares....or houses in Budapest....its still there if you want it.
