Need old brick for a remodel

[CannonKrazy]

I need help. I am remodeling a house and want to match the existing brick if possible.
Not sure where the original owner bought the brick or the name of them. These are modular brick from the 70s. Looking for 1200 or more but will take what’s available.

The brick look more like the top picture. The pictures were taken at different times with different lighting.

Have you checked with Cherokee Brick Co

Yes. The sample they showed me matched very closely. I bought two cubes from them. When the brick were delivered they didn’t match the house or the sample they showed me. Two completely different brick.

The only way I've ever seen this work is to lay the new brick then paint them to match. It's very slow work. Matching anything that old is pretty much impossible

The top pic looks more like the 50's or 60's to me. My house was built in 1972 and they used an antique brick then. My carport had two walls of brick which I later enclosed for a garage and removed all that brick. I cleaned all that brick and am using it as a
floor for a shed now. these pics show it in different lights. Don't know how I got some many repeats of the pics.

r in a shed now.

There are a lot of homes around that used this brick. I am hoping to find someone that has a stack sitting behind a shed somewhere.
I feel sure any brick I use will need to be shaded or stained a little.

Did you return the order? I’ve bought from them several times and they’ve always been spot on with the match. FYI. Your brick looks just like my current remodel built in 1971.

Just1more. I contacted the sales guy I bought them from numerous times and he has been less than helpful. I talked to Cherokee brick in Dublin where I bought them and they didn’t help much either.
We have a project in mind away from the house and these brick might work for it.

I’ll try to remember to get some pics next time I’m there
