Antique Folding Railroad Passenger Car Wash Sink Water Tank Mirror Vtg 97-24E
$ 1,295.00
Very cool rare folding sink from an old railroad passenger car with its original galvanized lined oak water tank and mirror. It is marked Rowe Sanitary Lavatory Co c.1890s. The original drain and the fill valve are missing from this otherwise complete set. The original soap dish and cup holder are also still attached. The sink shows normal light wear, minor scratches & scuffs, and some crazing in the bottom of the basin. The finish on the oak cabinet and plaque also shows wear, but it only adds to its charm. The mirror has only light scratches and a small amount of distress in the corners, may not be original, we can't tell for sure. The nickel plating on the soap dish, cup holder, and hinges is worn as shown in the pics. This is a pretty awesome piece of RR history. Overall good, salvaged condition. Please be sure to look over all of the pictures as they are the best description. Feel free to ask questions when needed. Thanks for looking!
