| We have a guy resurfacing our ceramic shower or I should say he is covering it. But his FB page has a pic of a sink like that but 100 time worse than either of those. He refurbished it and the after pic was amazing. I asked him about it when he was over looking at our project. He said one of his employees did it and he didn't go into the process but he said it's expensive to do it right and to preserve it. These types of fixtures are making a come back you got a good deal at $10 a piece.

| Ospho for the rust then reglaze or reseal it. It rusted through as the glaze is gone on the porcelain. To properly restore is way beyond its value. 400 or 600 wet/dry sandpaper for the scratches. You will be surprised at the improvement. Did those come out of a commercial building? Those are self closing faucets, perfect for kids...

| I kin git you a deal on c.1928 two-piece toilets. And my buddy just tossed a 1946 toilet with original brass ballcock, flush elle, lift wires, lift wires guide arm, the whole thing. I asked him to at least bust the tank apart and save me the brass components for my diorama.
My next collecting binge? Pre-war brass toilet seat hinges. |

Now that’s interesting.... I wonder if they were being manufactured for a long time. |
