Ohmega Salvage

You don’t see these everyday! This is a 1937 American Standard corner tub. This the less common 5 foot long version. They called this design the Pembroke model. It was made 2/11/1937 at the former Pacific Iron Works in Richmond, CA. Standard bought Pacific in the 1920’s. Still in very good shape and a rare size as well. #ohmegasalvage #antiquetub #americanstandard #cornertub #vintagebathroom #bathtime #compassion #onelove

Question....When is a chandelier not a chandelier?.....Answer....When it is a perfect spot for a Hummingbird Nest! We keep most of our As-Is chandeliers hung up on the porch. Spring is here and this hummingbird took full advantage! Obviously the light is not for sale for the foreseeable future. Happy Spring everyone. Here is to new life! #ohmegasalvage #hummingbird #nest #spring #chandelier #repurpose #nature #compassion #onelove

Well, here’s the long and short of it.........It’s been a really long time since we have had a trough sink AND a short (4-1/2’) claw foot tub. Both are quite nice! We are open Saturday from 10:00 to 5:30. #ohmegasalvage #clawfoottub #antiqueplumbing #cleanup #opensaturday #haveagoodweekend #compassion #onelove

.....And then you know your day is going to be expensive. Well, no big pick-ups for a while! We hope all of you are having a better in this beautiful weather we have. Thanks to Stretch Towing he helped us out getting our truck to the shop. #ohmegasalvage #stretchtowing #gratitude

"While many no longer function, most people don’t remove them entirely because they’d have to tear out the entire wall to do so. Steve Smith, who runs Ohmega Salvage in Berkeley, said that most of the levers no longer work because the rods were so long and had to be routed through a lot of studs that needed to stay straight and align with each other. As houses settle over time and succumb to weather fluctuations, the rods could fall out of alignment and bend. Rust could also be a culprit, as the majority of the mechanisms were steel or iron. Lastly, if the door started to not hang or swing or close properly it would put more stress on the mechanism." We were mentioned in SFGATE! https://www.sfgate.com//bell-crank-levers-san-francisco-ap
