Indicator plate question Login/Join

Is a 36"x24"x7" indicator plate worth anything? An old man I know has one but he wants 200.00 for it. It has some light rust on top but no pitting.
The picture is of a smaller version. I was thinking about buying it if there was money to be made. It does weigh several hundred pounds.

I have no idea what scrap steel values are going for these days as I have an outfit haul off all my scrap. I do now that the cost of new steel has increased 40% in the last 2 months. Call a scrap yard if your intention is selling for current value.


Never mistake motion for action.

Scrap prices are still low in Wichita Falls. This might be just an antique; the shop it is in still has the old wood drive pulleys in the attic.

That is a surface plate. Out of vogue now replaced by granite ones and would be useful to a machine shop maybe.

I would think rust would destroy it's value ?
