I might even give up a kidney for one of these...
*public entry because I am so friggin desperate that I'll accept information from any random person who happens to be browsing around lj*
Okay, so I don't know how many of you know this, but I sort of love my apartment. It may not be huge, or in even remotely the best neighborhood, and parking is a constant nightmare, and I get in fights with gang-bangers driving ice cream trucks, but I still love it. It's fairly cheap and I have a fantastic view and it's filled with the original 1920's fixtures and plaster-work. BUT. I HATE MY BATHROOM FAUCETS WITH A FIERY PASSION. It has the two separate taps for hot and cold and washing your face is a pathetic exercise in filling your hands with cold and bringing it under the hot until it's warmed up enough but OH NO if it's TOO HOT then you put your hands back under the cold and I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT.
So, imagine my pure, unadulterated JOY when I beheld this depression-era gem of engineering:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH MY GOD I WANT THIS SO BADLY IT PHYSICALLY HURTS
But, after seeing this picture on the internet, and the exhaustive web search that ensued, my poor heart is once again breaking because I CANNOT FIND THIS THING ANYWHERE. To have your hopes brought up to the heavens only to have it smashed into a bajillion little pieces? Oh, Icarus, I now know your pain.
Can anyone help me with this? Have you ever seen this bridge/mixer/adapter thingie before? Oh, and British people, you are world famous for your remarkably backwards bathroom plumbing, CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME OUT?
SIGH. BOO-HOO. SIGH AGAIN.
