How long has it been... by marilyn

How long has it been...

...since you saw one of these? This is in the bathroom at my dentist's office and, though I have seen it many times, it struck me today that these old Crown-Zellerbach dispensers might be a thing of the past... this is the only one I have seen in a long, long time.

I posted this to the "aday" project: http://www.aday.org/profile/56139
Interesting subject and definitely becoming an antique! Nice shot!

@grammyn Thanks... sometimes you don't have time to think about getting a shot and you just have to shoot what's there! :)

@marilyn Well done in this case!

We used to have one in the dental office I worked in years ago. I'm sure it's still there, cuz that dentist was into antiques anyway! The ones in our office now are sleek silver things that are in-set into the wall with a garbage can attached. They streak like crazy from the water dripping from wet hands as people take towels! argh.

The towels in that dispenser would last about 5 minutes in our nursing unit since we wash our hands so often! Nice find! What's the aday project? I clicked on it and saw this one pic.

@wannabe Thanks... I guess it wouldn't work for every situation, but I kind of like the old-school dispenser... :) The aday project was for people from all over the world to take photos of their day on 15 May and post them on the aday website. The link I put is just to my shot, but I think if you lead off the profile part it will take you to the main page for the site. I think several 365-ers participated. There was a discussion thread about it that I just happened to catch last night so I put that shot up.
