Genuine vintage Cream City brick from the 1800's, with character you can't find on any modern machine-made brick.  In 2009 two guys lit a stolen military flare and it landed on the roof of the Patrick Cudahy meat packing plant and burnt it to the ground. This is reclaimed brick from that event. The building was built in 1888. All the bricks are free of paint and are good on both side (no lead paint issues). All are clean and do not have any soot damage or smell from the fire. All are clean of mortar and are ready to install on your project.  I have 14 pallets available with approximately 540 bricks per pallet (7560 pcs. give or take). To calculate the amount needed for your project, estimate 7 bricks per square foot. All bricks are matched for color and no random sorting on site will be required. The exact effect is what you will see in the first photo, which is my office that came from this same load of bricks. As you can see, the end result is a wall that appears to have been there for more than 100 years. No matter how hard you try, modern bricks will never achieve this result. And if you look closely while setting these bricks, you might find finger prints from very small hands who worked in the brick factories long before labor laws were created. We set 2 such bricks in the archway as a reminder to the history that these bricks recorded.  The bricks are located in Appleton Wisconsin, and the buyer is responsible for picking them up and transporting them. They are on pallets, but they have been sitting for 3 years and the metal banding is rusting and letting go. I suggest bringing several rolls of stretch wrap or your own banding cart (I do not have one). I do have a Bobcat onsite and will load them onto your truck at no extra charge, but you will be responsible for strapping and securing the load.  Price is $1.25 per brick sold by the pallet (540 pieces approximate). There's enough brick here to do a really nice size project.
