A VERY SPECIAL LITTLE SINK

By annie39, 9 June, 2016
Description

   My dad  recieved this sink from Bob Ross the painters' New Smyrna Beach, FL  home.

Bob Ross had passed away and house was being remodeled, My dad has kept the sink in our backyard for a lot of years. I had to clean it up somewhat because it was left outside. He is kind of a hoarder. He is now 70 and deciding to maybe sell some things he has accumulated. The sink is so unique I can't find anything like it. It's solid brass and has some copper piping for hooking it up underneath. It is very old and probably an antique but I don't know anything about brass. There was a lot of green and blue stuff all over it that I got off but it does come back if not cleaned or polished. It weighs about 36 pounds. It has these very unique koi fish for the handles on water faucets. They still turn and would probably work perfectly if connected back up.Bob Ross never kept his fish he talked about always letting them go. I think maybe there is a connection with the fish faucets. Please help. I have contacted the Bob Ross company and they said they had no way to authenticate its source but we know it came from his home. Please give me an estimate
