1916 Kohler Drop In Bathtub, Cast Iron Tub, 68", Pennsylvania Estate Salvage

This beautiful cast iron tub was manufactured in 1916 by Kohler. It was salvaged from an 1890's Georgian mansion, known as "Laverock Hill", in Glenside, Pennsylvania. The drop in tub is 68" length with a beautiful, porcelain enameled finish. The tub basin measures 62" L x 24" W x 16 ½" H, with a 3 ½" flat rim.

Details: This tub has a predrilled waste drain hole and a predrilled hole in the front corner of the flat rim. Drain pull is not included.

Condition: This tub is in good condition. The porcelain enamel is in good shape, with some minor scratching, dings, and the usual dulling of the heavily worn areas on the bottom of the tub. There is some rust around the drain hole.
