Anybody collect antique bricks?

I have a brick patio at some rental property built in the 1940s full of old bricks. Someone told me they are worth $20-$30 each, especially the "TEXAS" brick which is rare. I have about 20 of the Texas bricks and several of the Globe and Star bricks. I may clean them up and start a collection. Anybody know anything about old bricks?

Friend,
Although I have a branch of the family tree that owned a brickyard long ago, I have a distaste of and, some might even say, phobia of bricks as paving material. It extends back to a fateful trip to Central Grocery and the end of my volleyball career.

Friend,
The Laurel-branded brick that you referenced as the culprit in your FQ accident that derailed your budding Volleyball career brought back a sad Katrina memory to me.
I have a very close and dear friend who is a member of the family that formerly owned a prominent Department Store chain based in New Orleans that shall go unnamed here in the interests of discretion. The family had built, maintained, and enjoyed a lovely beachfront home in Bay St Louis for some 85 years until the residence was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.
Many happy times were also had by me and my family in that space. I had free use of the place with proper timely notice given to the owners and I endeavored to repay this kindness by keeping a careful eye on the property for them in their absence.
Following Katrina’s destruction, the only surviving structural evidence of the place were the brick footings made from Laurel-brand bricks. I heard that the lot was to be cleared. I then hastily beat a path to it to procure a single representative brick for my friend. The Magi’s gifts were not received by the Holy Family with more emotion than was evident when I gave the Laurel to my friend.
The moral of this saga is that not all Laurel bricks are out to effect mayhem.
I am sad for you for your pain and suffering and as well for the loss of your derailed Volleyball career but must herein publicly recognize that the Laurel brick you encountered was truly inanimate and did not wish you or your sporting career any specific ill will. The molded, clay-fired articulated building product simply “do’ed what it ‘posed to do’ed”.
Possibly there’s a moral for us to take from this story?
In closing, thanks for your correspondence here. We are all the better for and from it.
Warmest regards,
Mssr. Füt

There's a company called Soros and Antifa, LLC. that buys them by the pallet.
Give them a call.

i lived in a historic district in tyler texas and would find different ones and neighbors would bring some to me.... our house were 1930-1950 ages... picked up a red one from the street once when they were repairing it... our streets red brick and a depression work project...
