Vintage water faucet sources
I want to redo the faucets at my cabin for two reasons:
1. To install a working winter system. 2. To install faucets that look "old'. Does anyone know of a site, as for vintage looking hardware that sells reasonably priced old looking faucets? Maybe I'll just have to scrounge yard sales and second hand stores and salvage stores. Steve |

Vintage water faucet sources
There are many sources here in Chicago. Look for places that sell
recycled stuff or salvage. Craig's and Freecycle are also good sources. Talk to plumbing contractors in your area they will often know of or have "pulls" from their jobs. Same for buildings being demo'ed. I've had old faucets from my clients and have "Freecycled" them. Richard Steve B wrote: I want to redo the faucets at my cabin for two reasons: 1.

Does anyone know of a site, as for vintage looking hardware that sells reasonably priced old looking faucets? Try this page: http://www.restoremedia.net/action.l...rodCode=063300 It's Old House Journal's listing of suppliers of reproduction kitchen faucets and fittings. -- Just as McDonald's is where you go when you're hungry but don't really care about the quality of your food, Wikipedia is where you go when you're curious but don't really care about the quality of your knowledge. - Matthew White's WikiWatch (http://users.erols.com/mwhite28/wikiwoo.htm) |
