A similar question was asked last year. The question was not really answered. I have an antique copper bathtub with an oak rim around the top and claw feet. This is solid copper with a tin or nickel lining. All original faucets including the original plug for the drain. It was made sometime in the 1890's. The manufacturer is stamped by the faucet, I just cant remember it off hand. I bought it decades ago from architectural antique place in Boston. I used it as a display piece for a store. It was covered in layers of pink and white paint. All has been stripped and the wood refinished. What a beauty! I cannot find anything like it on the internet and I have been looking for years. I have only come across some of the same age that are encased in oak and are in terrible condition and are still fetching $1000. Does anyone have any idea what this thing is worth or where I can find out more information? I would be grateful.

I have no idea but I wish I had it! You could take a photo of it and send it in to Country Living Magazine. Maybe they could tell you it's value.
Interesting, replicating an antique copper sink can be expensive as coppersmiths are not as common as they once were. He is a link below of a company who specializes in this type of work.
Antique Copper Bathtub - Market Value: $5,800.-00 Item Description: Based purely on the comprehensive information, photographic illustrations provided, and void of a transparent image of this craftsman?s logo, trademark, or signature, I would distinguish the piece as follows: Renderings depict a single original German copper bath tub, circa 1850. Copper is a ductile malleable reddish-brown corrosion-resistant diamagnetic metallic element; occurs in various minerals but is the only metal that occurs abundantly in large masses; used as an electrical and thermal conductor. 1
