old metal washing tub

By drh20s, 22 July, 2009
Description

This old wash tub has a removable top. Inside are two separate compartments, each with a drain that has a spout that looks as if a garden hose would attach to it. The control knob is like two small wings. The paint is original speckled green, but the top has been repainted. It is on rollers. There are no dents, dings, or missing pieces. I'd appreciate anyone's opinion regarding age and value. Thanks!

Re: old metal washing tub

The label reads "Ideal Manufacturing Company" and the item was patented in the 1930s.
