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.

Door opens. I am going to keep it until I find out what it was used for originally.
