Beatiful! If you don't keep them, clean them up and make the big bucks in salvage sales!

You know, temptation lurks in the most unlikely of places. You may want to double lock that basement of yours sir, as my evil twin is already calculating the distance from your stash and STL. Do pardon me as I leave to clean up the puddle of drool.

Wes, I especially like the green washbasin. What brand is it? Also like the white one with the back mounted fittings. Is it an American-Standard? Have you found the dates stamped in them? Your basement looks interesting.

Hey Wes!

Any idea where a guy might find a dark blue bathroom sink? I've searched all over the internets with no luck.

I am looking for something in the darker blue color- the first two tank lids on the right side of the linked picture are roughly the color I am looking for.

We get all sorts of stuff at the Building Value here. I'll keep my eyes open. Colorful fixtures pop up a lot. I've seen blue, green, pink, peach, maroon, gray, black. The white sink was $15, and the white toilet was $20. Sometimes, they even show up with legs (saw a powder blue one with legs, and a towel bar for $20 once).

It's not a bargain if you dont need it.

Just remember SPAVING (spending to "save") is not a real savings.

If one doesn't have a use for it NOW and doesn't have a place for it NOW is it really necessary or desirable?

Leave all those plumbing fixtures alone in the dark and the'll multiply. Like rabbits. You just watch!

I promise you with every fiber of my being that having a big open empty space is not harmful to anyone. REALLY!

Ah, that's not too bad, here's a look at the basement bedroom in my house.. I'm managing to keep most of it contained in there and haven't been buying anything much lately after watching Hoarders on tv. Some of this stuff is going out.

Habitat for Humanity Restores, at least the one here, often have a variety of bathroom fixtures in vintage colors. Good place to check out.

Now this is hoarding

Your two pedestal sinks are beautiful.

Here is my modern room that has wringers and automatics. It is now stuffed full. I moved my other washers that were scattered about the warehouse to this location. Now this room is FULL!

another angle

 

[runematic]

it's full. I can't even get to the wooden washers.

Finally, everyday, major appliances have now migrated onto the collection floor. My other floors are FULL of regular washers & dryers to hopefully one day get ready for sale. It ticks me off to no end to have these pieces on this floor.

 

[runematic]

So, elginkid, consider yourself lucky. You have plenty of room to fill with goodies.

Wow Todd, that's an awesome collection!!

Can we have a few more pics?

 

[runematic]

yep. give me a day or so

 

[jasonl]

I like those small bathroom sinks too, and GREEN as well. Reminds me of the ones in the house I grew up in. One bathroom was pink and the other was yellow.

Dan, I posted some new collection pics over in the imperial forum.
