That was probably true...my family has been into antiques for a long time and these tubs bring in the big bucks!! Do some research in the big cities. Look for house restoration companies...they are always looking for these for restoration projects. Whatever you do...don't scrap it. Because as soon as you do...someone is going to ask if you still have it for sale...DOH!

Thanks for all the suggestions but the tub is missing a foot and is generally in rough shape and I live pretty far from a big city. But I will research selling it as is - maybe someone can refurbish it and make big bucks. In case I didn't say it -it's in my house and I want it gone in the worst way so I can put in a shower !
