Good news! This just in from the Chinese Historical Society:

Hi Claire, I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  This is a really exciting find! I am including Ken Middlebrook on this email as he is our Collection Manager. Itis also good timing as we have a Gold Rush weekend event this coming Sunday and we are featuring the Chinese!  Now need to think where to put it. Ken can make the arrangements with you and we look forward to meeting you. Alida

I'm delivering the sink to CHS on Wednesday afternoon, in time for the Gold Rush weekend event!

They are going to have it outdoors for the gold rush event this weekend, then they will move it indoors, they just aren't quite sure where yet.

Here is the museum where it is going. This building is in History San Jose, a park full of buildings that came from all over San Jose. This building is a reproduction, but most are original. This is the building it will be associated with. Inside are artifacts from a Chinatown dig in San Jose some years ago and other Chinese cultural items. Upstairs is a beautiful shrine.
