Antique Copper Bathtub?

June 27th, 2007
Shelly asked:


A similar question was asked last year. The question was not really answered. I have an antique copper bathtub with an oak rim around the top and claw feet. This is solid copper with a tin or nickel lining. All original faucets including the original plug for the drain. It was made sometime in the 1890’s. The manufacturer is stamped by the faucet, I just cant remember it off hand. I bought it decades ago from architectural antique place in Boston. I used it as a display piece for a store. It was covered in layers of pink and white paint. All has been stripped and the wood refinished. What a beauty! I cannot find anything like it on the internet and I have been looking for years. I have only come across some of the same age that are encased in oak and are in terrible condition and are still fetching $1000. Does anyone have any idea what this thing is worth or where I can find out more information? I would be grateful.
