Is this stuff worth anything to anyone. Most of it is not painted, but has some dings and nicks. It is out of the attic in my house which was built in 1920. I think it is original to the home but I have no use for it. Anyone interested in it, or anyone know who would be?

Many towns have an antique salvage operation. I would be willing to bet they would at least take it off your hands. Look in the telephone book yellow pages under antiques, restoration, or salvage. I have some old pieces original to this house and would not turn them loose for anything because I might need them to replace something. I would have to pay a good price to replace them, so they are worth something.
