Many years ago, in the 1920’s and before, copper tubs such as this were used for soaking the week’s laundry in hot soapy water. Long before the age of washing machines, these copper tubs were a common sight on Mondays which were designated as “wash day.” Set $35.00

Interested, but it has to be in POOR condition for my intended purpose. But willing to take a look and make a deal if it works for me.

The tubs are in good shape no bad dents or gouges have been sitting around as antiques in a mans house he has a place down in Mexico.

Tubs are in WAY to good of shape for my intened use.

The ox yoke might work. How long are they in inches?

I have a very old table of similar construction.

The legs and supports underheath are yokes, maybe oxen yokes.

The top of the table is a very old large door held together with large metal pieces of brass, bronze or steel or something but very crude in construction.

How would I find out what it is worth?

Thanks,

They are copper on the outside but the inside is galvanized (sp) metal the copper forms a lip at the tip to hold the metal in the tub from what it looks like to me.
