Unexpected but useful gift

Post by Medusa »

And what a beaut she is! Husband is a plumber, went out to visit a regular customer the other day and he was loading this into his car to take to the charity shop. Husband commented on the workmanship and was asked if he would like it. Stunning vintage copper water heater with a tap. It will fit on top of our big wood burning stove and provide us with hot water in case of power cuts. I would not use it to heat water for drinking (although I am sure it was used for this), but for washing, washing up etc it would be fine.Still has the original manufacturers name plate too, although it has been worn away somewhat from being polished. It is huge and will likely hold about 20 litres. I was going to post a photo but apparently cant use Imgur anymore :cry:

You can attach photos direct to posts if they are less than 5Meg.
Consider passing them through an editor to strip out your location data which may be ingrained in the image metadata.

What Jenny said ... I'd love to see a photo, Medusa, if you can manage it. And yes, I post photos directly onto here.
