Vintage original porcelain kitchen sink used as set dressing in the Kramden family's sparse Brooklyn apartment that comprised the central location for the groundbreaking television sitcom, The Honeymooners, starring Jackie Gleason as Ralph Kramden and Audrey Meadows as his wife, Alice. Along with several other key pieces of furniture including a kitchen table and stove, this sink was seen in every episode of the series during its two-season run. It is constructed of a composite porcelain basin that has been painted white several times to refinish its look, with standard hot and cold metal faucets and propped up on 2- black-painted metal legs. The entire unit is affixed to a black-painted wooden structure simulating a wall and floor enclosure, and is set on 4- wheels for movement.
