(Don't feel bad- my main bath has a 1960 denture-pink cast iron tub with
matching mud-bed tile. But aside from a few tiny-nick rusty spots near
drain that I keep meaning to epoxy, it is in fine shape, so I can't
justify replacement. And although ugly, it is better than the cheap 1979
plastic almond-color shower stall in the bath in the addition.)

I'm jealous: this sounds like a real gem (aside from the Pepto-Bismol
color, of course), and I just want to applaud your restraint in
ripping it out and replacing it with today's cheap crap. Surely
someone can help you figure out paint/color scheme to help mitigate
the visual effect so you continue to enjoy this bathroom.
