Plumbing supplies found new and unexpected life as components of Chase Specialty pieces. Prominent in the plumbing re-use brigade was Walter von Nessen, who magically recreated elbow joints as these "Cat Book Ends" (No. 17042), "Horse Book Ends" (No. 17044) and "Cat Door Stop" (No. 90035).

Gift of Anna Kirschbaum, 1976
