This old soap holder hangs over the rim of a clawfoot tub. It is heavy brass with authentic patina and tarnish. I did not try to polish it up so selling as-is with the very vintage look. I believe it is solid brass as a magnet did not stick to it anywhere. The round sponge basket measures approximately 6 1/2" diameter and the soap holder measures approximately 5 1/4" long. Definitely not a new one.Please see the pictures of the item as they are an integral... part of the description - use the "Zoom" to see fine details. A picture is worth a thousand words!!!!Ask questions before buying as I do not offer returns on used, handmade or vintage items - They are sold AS-IS I pack items very well, but if it happens to be damaged in shipping please message me immediately and send pictures of the damage.If damaged, you will need to hold on to the item AND packaging until I give you further notice on how to proceed.I recycle shipping materialsPlease pay within 3 days to prevent the item from being relisted.THANKS !!!!!
