    This is not going to the scrap yard.

    Found this in an old barn I was helping clear out. It was dirty but cleaned up rather nice. It was cast from the Crane company out of Arkansas. My wife and I are going to reuse it when building our house. It feels like a zillion pounds while lifting it so I better make sure I beef up my cabinet base to support it.





    The picture was taken at night so it looks off white but its actually bright white.

    It looks to be in pretty good shape. The porcelain sinks have been making a come back with a new twist. What they've been doing is an under cabinet mount with either granite or Corian countertop. It makes for a nice installation. You don't get the rust staining around the edges of the sink where the porcelain transitions into cast iron.

    Mike, it is a kitchen sink. Its cast iron with a porcelain surface.
    It was full of dirt and had critter droppings all in it but cleaned up really nice.

    I had a whole set like that last spring double sink with a small wash rinse sink a corner sink for a washroom and the bathtub. About a 1000lbs in sinks and tubs. Still had faucets attached washed the coon cap off and it sold in 5 hours. My mom took one sold the rest sight unseen for 300 to a interior designer. I still feel riped off lol. But wanted it gone and not in my trailer for 2 weeks

    Those old sinks have lots of use left in them. We remodeled our porch here on the farm many years ago and the carpenter dug an old porcelain sink out of a creek bank to include in the remodeling. That was in 1987 and we use it everyday. It's a big basin with double drainboard. Love it.
