Does anyone make a pre-war style bathtub anymore?

12 years ago

I've searched through thousands of bathtubs for my NYC prewar apartment to replace the cheap plastic one the previous owner left behind. I'm looking for one exactly like this photo. Any recommendations?

Hi - I would try George Taylor on franklin street - I haven't worked with them recently but they used to be great if I needed to retrofit an old fixture or buy something truly vintage. Alternatively, you can call several contractors working in prewars - and ask them to call you when they tear one out. Then you can re-glaze.
