The Fire bars

Then the photo with 2 - well there is 12 of them.

They are all - (approx) 32 1/4 inches long - 1 1/4 inches wide ans 3 1/2 inches deep in the middle.

Oh the scraper bar is as good as sold

To maximise profit you'd be far better advertising it on a steam train forum. I suspect most people on this forum would buy a shovel to use, if that means the handle gets broken or the blade scratched then so what - it's a shovel! In the railway marketplace you'll probably find more people who will buy a shovel to loveingly cherish, polish and stare at - thus prices and what people will pay starts to rise.
