This radiator was an original fitting from a post-war house. It was heated by a solid-fuel Rayburn and was watertight when it was removed a few weeks ago. It heated the main bedroom and I imagine it would be a lovely, gentle heat source. The house only had one occupant since being built, and she sadly died this year.
The finish is a sort of speckled cream, similar to Rayburn cream - hence my wondering if it was made by the Rayburn company to complement the stove. There are no chips or noticeable rust. I've never seen another one like this, but it is strangely beautiful and would look terrific in the right house.
It's pretty heavy - you couldn't carry it far and I really struggled to get it in the car on my own - so it's collection only. It is in three pieces - base, radiator and "lid".
Payment by Paypal or cash on collection.

IF YOU'RE STILL INTERESTED AND LOCAL, EITHER CONTACT ME OR BID IN THE KNOWLEDGE THAT I WILL UNDERSTAND IF YOU DON'T WANT IT WHEN YOU SEE IT. THE WATER-JACKET APPEARS UNDAMAGED. I CAN'T STOP THE AUCTION BECAUSE THERE'S LESS THAN 12 HOURS TO GO. VERY SORRY.
