Wolff Update
Acoustikat in Lancaster, Pa sent us the following comment about our Wolff Manufacturing post sevel months ago. I thought the picture was a classic and wanted to share it with everyone. Here is what he wrote:
I'm a sanitary pottery collector living in Lancaster, PA. I have an cast iron 1898 Wolff Neptuna 5' center fill (Roman style) tub. The tub has a very large under rolled rim and lion's paw feet. I found it in Cincinatti, OH. The Neptuna is missing the original hardware. Consequently, I am working with a metal artist to create the appropriate parts. The story that came with the tub was that is was used in the Presidential Suite of the Alms Hotel. I have been unable to confirm this. The tub is one of many pieces in my collection. I'm planning a master bathroom in my turn-of-the-century carriage house and the tub will be a centerpiece with a J L Mott bidet, John Douglas console sink, John Douglas royal embossed toilet, and a pedistal urinal with fluted base. I also collect plumbing catalogs of the major manufacturers prior to the Great Depression.

Allan,
Thanks for the info on the Wolff tub. Mine looks like yours and its original to this house (built 1897-8). The number on the bottom of the tub is 19...no idea what that might mean. - Tamara from Colorado Springs
I recently purchased a home in Denison, Texas. The home was built in 1900 and the tub we pulled out is a Wolff with a number 10. How do I find out when and where it was manufactured?
