Just search for Radiator refurbishing and sales. There are many sites and one should work.
On This Old House on Saturday. They visited a radiator buyer and refurbish er. They pointed out the things that make them valuable. Go to their Web site, they might have a mention of this man.
Decorative design.
Condition
Number of upright tubes
number of rows of upright tubes.
The bigger and more elaborate the better.
On the show he gave a price for one that was all refinished in a bronze gold finish. It was low, maybe 2 feet high and about 4 ft long. It was in excellent condition and the salesman gave a price of $1500.00 all ready to install.
If your Mothers has been in the garden, the condition will not be so good.
They have to be sand blasted and receive about 4 or 5 coats of heat tolerant paint. So the labor it would require should be considered.
Check E bay and see if there are any for sale. Good Luck.
