I have a bunch of these and wondered if they are of any value? All say Culver block and some have a 1901 date on them. Landscaping maybe?

I've put down a lot of used brick over the years as I was a mason. You might get a $1.00 a brick if you have enough of them to do a decent size project. How many do you have?

I have probably around 2-300. Maybe more. They are under the ground everywhere here.
I see they are the same brick as the Indy speedway.

If you have enough of those bricks for a walkway, you should be able to sell them for $3.00 to $6.00 each near most major cities. Even plain, older reclaimed bricks go for $5.00 to $7.00 per square foot. Yours are much nicer.

You're setting him up for unrealistic expectations. You can go online right now and find pallets of used brick for under $500 for a pallet of five hundred. I've seen them as low as four hundred. I used them extensively in high-end homes until someone realized there might be an issue with introducing lead paint into someone's living areas. Many of the old buildings these brick came from (Baltimore, Philly, Chicago) were painted many times over the years.

There might be some value attached to the idea Indy Speedway was paved with them. Probably not.

Yep actual Indy bricks are bringing 80.00 each. Been using them for landscape borders for years.

Yes it is. A friend of mine and fellow bricklayer was demolishing an old chimney in southern Maine and found a brick with the masons signature and date written in the brick. Maybe it was a common practice back in that time but I've never run across it before. He must have added his touch to the brick with a nail or something equally pointy before it was fired. Beautiful cursive signature and I think it dated to the mid 1800's if I remember right. It stood the test of time. He gave it to the homeowner. Great piece of history to keep with the house.

You're market is very different then mine. Yuppies in the cities near me pay huge money for bricks like those. Take a look at Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace in the Columbus, Ohio and Cincinnati, Ohio areas.

Keep the yard bird, we know it has been violated! But dang, RC is the best cola on the face of the earth. Even better from a fountain machine. It burns more than cheap bourbon. Half way good deal your throwing out there.
