"Was hat eine Spielplatz-Schaukel mit einer Schaukelbadewanne gemein? "
I have found some pictures on google, but have no idea if such a thing ever existed in English. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!

rocking bathtub
I would like to sell a small rocking bathtub I obtained in Germany about 50 years ago. It is made of heavy metal and is marked with a number and the word "Berlin." I was told at the time that only a dozen of these tubs were made. What is the best way to sell the tub?

There appears to be a modern proprietary brand called 'Swaytub'.
