Cast Iron thing. BM No3

Anyone familiar with who BM may be on this cast iron thing? planter? As you can se it is marked BM on one end and No 3 on the other end. Measures about 23" long x 12 1/2" wide x 9" high on tall end. Picked this up at an auction recently and someone had an Antique shop label on it calling it a French Bath with a big price on it. I have my doubts but you never know Hopefully I'll get notifications this time. I haven't received any board updates at all in quite awhile.

Baby/child bathtub?

 

Thanks Don. Almost identical. Sizes are real close also. I don't believe this is quite that old though. Probably impossible to figure the manufacture.

Thanks corea. Could be but I would think it to rough for a baby.

 

I wouldn't put my baby in there.............

 

LOL, Me neither

 

Or my feet either.

You could do further research on BM Jones & co. To find the mark they used.

 

Thanks for the lead. I'll definitely search that company further to see what I can come up with
