I think most people would only want these sinks if they had the resources available for refinishing the porcelain and spraying the metal base. Or an architectural salvage place that has these resources would want it for next to nothing so they could refurbish it and sell it, or sell it to someone who would pay to have it refurbished. The faucet is probably a total loss. I am thinking of putting an offer on a house that has two of these as well as two cast iron bathtubs and I am having trouble finding the sources to do either. I have seen on TV shows where designers say "just take your metal cabinets to your local autobody place and get them sprayed" my limited experience is that they tell you to get lost...its probably regional. This doesnt really answer your question, but my experience is that unless you find someone doing a period project who specifically wants this, you will have to pay someone to take it away--and they may have the opportunity to stockpile it and sell it when someone is looking for it. I once put a deco-age cup dispenser in tan rusted metal on eBay for $1.00...it hit almost $80 because someone was doing a period lunchroom in a corporate office and had a large budget. Salvage is like this--its whatever a very fickle market will bear, and sometimes that means You keep it or pay to have someone haul it away...thats been my experience.

I was nosing around on the eBay UK site & integrated drainboard SS sinks appear to be the norm over there. Single bowl with one drainboard, that is. I think that integrated drainboards are an emerging trend here and we'll be seeing more offerings in future. Opportunity for a sink mfg. to offer some choices and at a decent price point. The Elkay model, at over $1k, is awfully pricey for shallow bowls and 18ga, from my point of view.

I love big sinks. Just has a conversation with the plumber last week. I personally like a large single bowl but my plumber, sister, and friends all say a double bowl is better. Wish I could fit a giant sink like you want.

Ok- planning to redo the kitchen. I really want the built-in drainboard but am concerned since the cabinet is only 36" wide- and the rest if over a lazy susan cabinet. http://www.stainlesssinkstore.com/stainless-steel-sinks/elkay-ilr4822-lustertone-ette-bowl-stainless-steel-sink_g175854.html is what i am looking at. Could this work? Any other suggestions. I Always have dishes/wine glasses in the drainer and I see no reason to have removable drainboard when it could be built in. A topmount seems ideal because I don't to drip water all over granite. Thanks for your help.
