Gorgeous CRANE Nickel Plated Brass, Cast Iron Tub Faucet
with porcelain helicopter handles. My Father came back from a meeting in
Washington, D.C. in the fall of 1951 on the Southerner, a passenger train
operating between New Orleans and Washington, packing this in his suitcase. He
told me it came from the White House. The White House was completely gutted
during the Truman administration, and they did sell off building material.
Nickel Plated Brass and Handles are in very nice, original condition. Cold handle has a tiny hairline crack as seen in pictures. 5-3/8"H, 4-5/8"W, 3-1/4" between center of threaded pipes. Threaded mounting sleeve is 3/4" NPT. handles are 2 5/8" x 2 5/8", collar is 2 3/8" diameter, length of threaded pipe 1-1/2". All threaded connections, including the hose bib, are hand tight and turn and remove freely.
This will need new gaskets and stem packing, which you
can get from any hardware store - this looks very nice and is ready to mount
