Housed in its original portable presentation case, the display features a working aluminum-framed sliding shower door assembly fitted with translucent flexible plastic panels decorated with etched tropical fish, coral, and underwater motifs. The opposing side retains its original illustrated advertising poster promoting the Twin-Dor system, highlighting its ease of installation, aircraft-grade aluminum construction, and the then-modern price of $39.95. The compact case allowed sales representatives to transport a fully functional demonstration model directly into plumbing supply houses, hardware stores, and customer homes.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDoors slide smoothly during operation. Latches remain functional but are somewhat stiff. The translucent door panels remain intact and are constructed of a flexible plasticized material rather than rigid glass, allowing them to flex slightly while remaining thicker and more substantial than standard plastic film. The carrying case exhibits age-related wear including surface scratches, scuffs, scrapes along the upper interior edge from repeated opening and closing, and discoloration or residue on the handle panel. The advertising panel displays edge wear, small tears, tape residue, and minor creasing. One lower aluminum track has a small crack adjacent to a mounting hole, as shown in the photographs. Overall presents well and remains a scarce surviving example of a mid-century architectural salesman sample.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n20.75\" L x 6\" W x 22.25\" H\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMM - 21683 - 070926\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor information regarding shipping, please visit our Terms \u0026amp; Conditions page \u003ca class=\"GeneratedLink\" href=\"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/pages\/shipping\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Industrial Artifacts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44513744420907,"sku":"21683","price":1850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0194\/8170\/files\/00c3c82e-5bbe-5f12-89e2-8cfbe757f5b7.jpg?v=1785275947","url":"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/products\/vintage-twin-dor-sliding-shower-door-salesman-sample-display-case","provider":"Industrial Artifacts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
