Valuations: DEA can only offer valuations on items that you intend to sell directly to
us. If you are looking to place a value on an item that you do not intend to sell, we welcome you to browse our webpage and compare prices. We are
sorry, but we do not have time to research, evaluate, and appraise items not for our own purchase.
Please keep in mind that our antique items are priced as restored and usually have many hours of labor in them. “Street price” for unrestored fixtures may be only a fraction of the restored value.
If you have an item you wish to sell: Please look over the lists
below to see if your item is one we might be interested in (or not). If the item you wish to sell is not on either list, send a brief email describing the
item.
Wanted:
Crane plumbing fixtures
6’ Clawfoot tubs with feet. .
Pre-1940 built-in corner and island tubs.
Pre-1930 complete toilets.
Pre-1940 Porcelain Bath Accessories . (Towel bars, soap dishes, etc.)
Pre 1950 urinals.
Crane Kitchen Faucets made before 1960
Yes, there isn’t much we’re after right now. Our warehouse is full!
PRICE GUIDE
Thanks, but we’ll pass for now:
Under 6’ Clawfoot tubs.
Post 1930 Pedestal sinks (unless made by Crane)
Post 1930 Wall hung sinks (unless made by Crane)
Post 1970 Crane fixtures
Old Water Heaters. (Click here for more information on Antique Water Heaters)
Light Fixtures.
Radiators
Anything old that’s not plumbing related.
Marble in ANY form.
Individual Tub Feet.
Cast Iron Lavatory Sinks
Post 1950 anything.
We suggest listing items that appear immediately above in a local classified paper, posting them on
Craigslist, or putting them in the yard with a big “For Sale” sign. Believe it or not, we have found this to be very effective for selling
those all too common 5’ & 5-1/2’ tubs!
If your item is on the “Wanted” list: Click the
button at the bottom of this page to go to our contact page. Use the email link there to send pictures in JPEG or GIF format (250K max per photo please.)
Include your shipping address and a daytime phone number. We will evaluate the photos and contact you via telephone if we feel that your item is
potentially profitable for both of us. Please keep in mind that large items may not be economical to ship via common carrier and that we pay only after
delivery is made and the item is inspected. Your proximity to the West Coast may play a large factor in the feasibility of selling your item.
Thank you, I hope we can do business together.
