Old Wall Ties

[ANGLER]

Demolished a wall in my 1936 bungalow, and collected a quantity of thick old design wall ties. Can these ties be reused for future building work?

Not if the work is being done under building regs

Nor if they are rusty.

If you’ve an architectural salvage yard nearby, they might be interested in buying them off you if you have enough of them.

Why? I have recently acquired one from my house (long story to do with bricking up an air vent) and it is way more substantial than modern brick ties.
