While we were waiting for weeks to hear back from the tub company about our defective acrylic tub, we really needed to move on and finish the bathroom. On a whim, we decided to look for another tub on craigslist. And we found an original historic cast iron claw foot tub for $150 about an hour's drive away. That was a great price, and the tub seemed to be in great condition from the pictures. So we decided to check it out; it turned out to be a great buy.

| Some rust on the side of the tub. This is expected for a tub this old. |
 |
| Very little rust around the drain and faucet. |
 |
| Tub was painted on the visible side which protected that side from rust. |
 |
| The underside of the tub shows that it was made by Kohler on February 19, 1929. |
To save money, we decided that we will try to refinish this tub ourselves using a $25 tub refinishing kit.
