RELISTED. WITHDREW LISTING ON UNDERSTANDING THAT BUYER WOULD BE THERE SAME AFTERNOON TO PICK UP. THEY WEREN'T. THAT WAS A WHILE AGO NOW. VERY ANNOYED AT PAYING AUCTION WITHDRAWAL FEES FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T KEEP THEIR END OF THE BARGAIN.
PLEASE READ THE PART ABOUT FOUR GRUNTY GUYS BEING NEEDED TO LIFT THIS. TWO MIGHT DO IF REALLY GRUNTY. I AM A WOMAN, BUT AM WELL OVER SIX FOOT AND BUILT LIKE A BULGARIAN WRESTLER. I MANAGED IT WITH MY GUY BUT IT NEAR KILLED ME. I WILL BE VERY VERY VEEEERY UNIMPRESSED IF YOU'RE A TINY LITTLE FLOWER AND YOU TURN UP EXPECTING ME TO CARRY THIS FOR YOU.
Genuine old claw foot bath, date stamped 1941.
Sorry, no pic, I can't find my camera.
Surface condition is poor - the enamel is old and worn and impossible to scrub clean any more. Will need resurfacing.
It's the old coffin style, I believe it's called, like a big rectangle with flat edges, not rolled edges (but good for putting candles, bottles etc on). Very comfy and practical.
168.5 cm x 75.5 cm and about 38cm deep (not counting legs).
I am keeping the feet, very sorry, they are not for sale and will not come with the bath. The bath of course has places to screw in new feet.
Manufacturers of new baths recommend that four grunty guys move these things - they are cast iron and very heavy. In saying that, two of us managed to move this one.
Basically free for whoever wants to come and get it. Currently kept outside (since the weekend).
