KITCHEN SINKS!

[Rose Wallace]

Is there anyone in Golden Lane undertaking a kitchen restoration project?

I have TWO ORIGINAL stainless sinks - round 'conical' bowl with a lip that fitted underneath the teak work top.

These sinks were rescued in the 1980's from Golden Lane when I was resident there and I am offering each of them for sale. Please contact me for details. [e-mail]

Hello I would be interested in acquiring - how much are you looking for?

[Rose Wallace]

Hello, I understand that you are interested in buying an original G. L. sink.

I am not sure what it is worth so was going to sell them to the highest two closed bidders who made contact before 1st August. I understand that you will need provenance and images to decide and this I will now arrange and send to you. I hope you will agree this is the fairest method. kind regards, rose

IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO SEND DETAILS PLEASE SEND ME YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS - THANKS [e-mail]

Hello Danny,

I'm afraid I honestly do not know how much they may be worth - that is why I had the idea of closed bids so that you can offer what they are worth to you as that seems the fairest method.

I will be in touch shortly with the promised images etc.

[Rose Wallace]

As promised here are the images. For simplicity, I will name them sink A & sink B.
Sink A - I have attempted to capture the details of its current condition visually, in addition these details are - there are 2 cut out sections in the rim, a slightly wavy edge on approximately one quarter of the rim, glue and fibreboard remains on the underside of rim inside 3 minor dents. However, the overall finish of this sinks surface is better than sink B.

Sink B - this one has a complete rim with one kink, on inner surface 4 tiny dents and one slightly larger one, very feint greyish staining to 5% of the inner surface, silicone remains on the underside rim. This sink has been in use for 15 years more than sink A and it is showing wear. However, it is more complete and some resurfacing work would make a great difference.
