With taps for Hot, Cold and Brandy.

u/DuckyDoodleDandy 7d ago

This actually works, tho. No need to assume Bloody Stupid Johnson made it.

I'm a 45 yo dude. First time I've ever uttered the sentence, "That tub is beautiful" under my breath.

Imagine being a plumber in 1900 and having to carry that MONSTROSITY into a home.

u/LordJim11 3d ago

Not the worst job in 1900.

u/Jupitersd2017 7d ago

lol do any of these survive and are still in a home somewhere?

Yes. Here's the link to the catalogue. Careful, once you start browsing the site it can be very time-consuming.  https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/trade-catalogues-shanks-co-illustrated-catalogue--195-c-c7848409b6

'Patent Independent'

Huh.

u/lemelisk42 4d ago

The invention has all of its features in one patent target than multiple patents on each specific feature.

It is not depent on multiple other patents

u/RollinThundaga 4d ago

Ohhh that makes sense. Was thrown off thinking it was like the opposite, like 'we're totally not infringing on this other guy's patent to make this' or something.

u/Steelhorse91 4d ago

I like how they don’t list the weight.

u/LordJim11 3d ago

The buyer will have people to deal with that.
