It is showing its age with some light rust around the edges, and small chips and scratches. The fact that it exists in the state it is in, and the fact that it is being offered for sale, make this a rare piece. The sink was set up in an outbuilding of a farm, with cold water running to one faucet for outdoor hand washing. Top to bottom: the top, rear edge that meets the wall has small chips along the edge, and the backsplash looks good. The drain plug and chain look to be in good condition. The rim around the bowl has small scratches, but nothing that stands out, and the interior of the bowl has wear, some small dings and a little rust around the drain. What is worth pointing out is an indented circular spot on one side that measures about 3" in diameter. It is hard to explain, so there is a picture showing this area. The underside had some relatively light surface rust that was removed. It was then painted to clean up the appearance. The soap dish is in good condition overall. It does not attach to the sink, but was with it originally, so it is being included here. Please see the pictures for further details.
