Here's the situation I have these old vents in my house, I cannot find anyone around here who has ever seen anything like them. I was wondering if anyone here knew what they were or a place that may be able to match something up to them.

The surrounding piece is in good shape but the grille part of it is all messed up. I have 3 of them and they are all the same way. I can't find anything new that will fit where the original grille goes and can't find a whole replacement for them because they are wierd sizes.

Bill, they look like mobile home vent covers actually. If that doesn't pan out or if you want to make things quicker stop at Kraus Department store on Parade and see Joe or Tom and they can probably help you out.

I found out what they are they are vents for an old gravity heating system and as far as I can tell only one company makes them. The smaller of the 3 with a starting price of $60 so I guess I'll be making a plan B.
