The brass fixtures really crack me up. I'm always in favor -- the old houses my wife and I have re-done -- to keep original, just overhaul, so, I've done my share of stripping, prep and polishing. I usually have to go "aftermarket" on light fixtures and such that have been replaced in ill-advised updates.

But, in a trailer, to add it? I love the whimsy. Hope you'll see the whole problem as being part of a system that needs addressing all the way through, from supply to waste, and not skimp.

I, too, love the detail of old fixtures but haven't redone a pre-1920 house.

Good luck!!
