One antique tub up for trade!

We just made our first official trade up!! Mike and Karen now own our little red Matchbox bus and we are proud owners of a vintage tub! I always wanted one. Too bad I can't use it! I hope they have fun with the toys bus!

This lovely vintage tub just came out of Mike and Karen's house which was built in 1904. I have not doubts this tub was the orginal bathtub in this house. They decided to replace it with something larger as they are all very tall (most of them well over 6' tall). The tub is very heavy and may need to be refinished, depending on your tastes. The tub is in solid shape and will probably be around at least another 100 years or more.

We would love to see it go to someone who has a need for it and who appreciates the craftmanship of this antique. I can e-mail more pictures, if needed or you can stop over to see it! I see in the photo I took there's fly or s
omething on the left rim. I'm sure it's not a chip.

Measurements:
This tub measures 5' long from outer rim to outer rim.
It is 30" wide from outer rim to outer rim.

It is about 23" high from the bottom of the ballfoot to the top of the rim.

Other details:
The photos with wording is from the underside of the tub.

Three of the legs are not on the tub right now but they slide on and are in sturdy shape, although a little rusty. We may slide them back on this week sometime.
