The suds tub I have is metal (steel?) inside & out. Mine was made by the W.P. Johnson Co. of Des Moines, IA. Bill, I love your tub, especially the green fiberglass and storage compartment underneath. I wish mine had that feature. Mustee still sells suds tubs, check the link. Does your tub have a cover? Some models did, and still do.

that lid probably helped keep the water warm....not a bad idea, but one wonders about getting the hoses in and out....
on one model they show a spout to drain the washer into the tub and conceal the drain hose....but doesn't quite work for the suds saver return hose... still, these are really nice to have.... |

I would love to find one or two of these Dura-tub units for the laundry rooms here, they are pretty scarce now. I have two newer laundry tubs I put in while outfitting the rooms for rows of washers and dryers. They aren't the BOL plastic, but a step or two above with the washboard ribs on the slanted front that have come in handy more than you'd imagine.
When I was shopping for tubs, I tried to find some that were the dimensions of the Dura-Tub but came up with nothing. I wouldn't gain enough space to add a couple of machines if I had smaller tubs, but it would give some of the space-piggies in the collection a little more room.
Last week, I saw a cool Montgomery Ward Signature double tub unit, a pretty splash of color in an otherwise boring white room.

I have a 1956 Homart laundry tub purchased at Sears and the tub is fiberglass. |

I have a duratub laundry sink with top cover that I would sell if someone was interested. Currently has been in use since installed in house. Good working order. |
