 This is a newer one too. Made probably after 1995+/- since it doesn't have the sudsaver dual pipe set-up that the original sinks had. They changed their product after realizing sudsaver washers were no longer being made.

That particular spout (called the "HANDIFLO") was patented in the 1994-1996 timeframe, so I'd agree with the 1995+ production estimate.
(We were not yet under the first-to-file system back then, so production could have overlapped that patent application/review/grant process timeframe.) It's of course possible that the spout was purchased separately and put on an older tub - but perhaps not terribly likely. The tub being white poly instead of green fiberglass also agrees with it being a later production. I have some brochures and other info in my Duratub thread: Mustee Duratub 93 - Vintage Laundry Sink & Cabinet www.automaticwasher.org/c... | ||

That's great information Dave.
These tubs were quite common in the Midwest in my experience. In the 70s,80s,90s it was quite common to have a laundry room with this sink. My aunt had an avocado one with a Sears label on in it in her 72 built ranch home. My parents had an almond one in their 85 built home. A family friend had a pink one with awkward green tub in her late 50s/early 60s build tri-level. I had a white one in the first home I built in 91. I've seen countless numbers of these in all the new built homes I toured in the Chicago/Milwaukee metro region back then. I wish I had pictures and all the brochures I picked up. I just took it for granted they'd always be there. | ||
