Appraisal results are generated using automated systems, including artificial intelligence, and are based solely on the information and images submitted by the user, along with publicly available data. As such, results may contain inaccuracies, omissions, or errors.
InstAppraisal does not authenticate items. No determination of authenticity, origin, materials, maker, or age should be considered verified.

Authenticity cannot be confirmed from images alone.
Any statements regarding authenticity are expressions of opinion only and should not be relied upon as fact. Independent professional authentication is strongly recommended before any purchase, sale, or valuation decision.
Appraisal values are estimates only and may vary significantly based on condition, provenance, market demand, and additional information not available at the time of review.
Appraisals must not be relied upon for insurance, legal, tax, estate, or financial purposes without independent professional verification.

Re: Old cast iron tool stand or base?
Re: Old cast iron tool stand or base?
It looks like the base of an old coal fired hot water heater, pieces like this really only have scrap metal value.
Re: Old cast iron tool stand or base?
I do not think it is a heater of any kind. It has a wooden floor in it. I think it is a base for some tool.
Re: Old cast iron tool stand or base?
Don't scrap! It's gorgeous, and has 1001 uses, even if it's not "valuable" or whatever.
I could see it making an interesting plant-stand or adding a top to make a cool catch-all for an entry-way (place to put keys, etc)
Price ALWAYS depends of the venue and the buyer, but in a store, I would put $100 on it.
Does that door open? $50 -100 bonus if that door opens to make a convenient drawer.
Re: Old cast iron tool stand or base?
Door opens. I am going to keep it until I find out what it was used for originally.
