Whats this worth, if anything.

[printcom]

Now if there's one thing I have learned it is that you lot between you know almost everything
Her indoors has tasked me to remove the junk before we move. Well this is the cause of some disagreement - she says bin it, I say ebay it.
Trouble is I have no idea what its called let alone how much's it's worth.
All I know is that it is bloody heavy and in reasonably good condition.
size wise it's 1400 x 610 x 170. I was going to use it as a dog bath.

Any ideas ?

Hi, It looks like a factory washhouse trough for 2 or 3 men to wash up their hands at a time under running taps. I've no idea of its desirability or value, but it might be worth letting it go round once on ebay with a carefully worded ad suggesting alternative uses for the 'shabby chic' brigade.

With wording like " NOT a Belfast Sink". ;-)

Thanks chaps, I have stuck it up on ebay with the above suggestions. Half of me hopes it sells just so I can stick two fingers up at my misses and after looking at it the other half thinks it would make a great dog shower basin.

Could also call it a Butlers sink. I hope you used a better picture...

Make sure you slip the term "vintage" into the listing title too.

I had a identical one to that it was extremely difficult to break and was to heavy to move easily

Its a not very old but very scabby shower tray

You can do that any way BUT don't let her see you

 

[armalites]

That's the sort of thing I would buy and then find you can't buy a drain for it because it's an unusual size

Looks like a shower tray to me too

Ok, so before I amend the advert let’s get this right –

Rare, Vintage, Antique Barn find ceramic trough. “NOT Butler or Belfast sink”

I took this out of a 900 year old farmhouse in Kent. I really have no clue as to what this is but it’s large and heavy and was being used as the kitchen sink.

It would make a great outdoor planter, dog/animal shower tray or with a little restoration the ideal sink for a single bloke who only washes up once a week.

Collection in person only and unless you want a hernia bring a friend, Oh did I mention it’s heavy – very!

Hows that sound ?

Looks like a floor recessed foot/boot wash to me.

It's a bit shallow for a planter, unless you're growing cress.

Yet another justification to own the lathe ..

I like your thinking

 

[bigegg]

You could use it as a drip tray under the lathe to catch the suds.
