<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 1371875, member: 6444"]I think you already figured this out, but these are not victorian era original (but victorian-style as you said); they are 20th century re-castings. The large piece is indeed the back, probably surrounded with wood as in the picture below. If your goal is to sell it, I think you'll have much more success putting it together first as a functional bench - use some hard wood 1x stock - but only if you have a source to get the wood cheap (otherwise the wood cost will overwhelm any possible profit). <a href="https://www.wayfair.com/outdoor/pdx/astoria-grand-mcgrady-wood-and-cast-iron-park-bench-w001398253.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.wayfair.com/outdoor/pdx/astoria-grand-mcgrady-wood-and-cast-iron-park-bench-w001398253.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.wayfair.com/outdoor/pdx/astoria-grand-mcgrady-wood-and-cast-iron-park-bench-w001398253.html</a></p><p><img src="https://secure.img1-fg.wfcdn.com/im/14096365/resize-h700-w700%5Ecompr-r85/7267/7267259/Mcgrady+Wood+and+Cast+Iron+Park+Bench.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
