Same faucet as on top; just mount location. There's nothing unique
about the faucet itself.

You should be able to find single valves NP. A wide spread (8"?) pair may
fit too.

Yikes !!
And I thought it may be a problem to find a replacement someday for
this "angled" faucet from the 50's.

Same thing--there's nothing at all unique about the faucets.

They're called "wide spread" faucets and there a zillion from which to
choose and if look can probably still find the originals or something
very close...

Do you have to use angled water so that it will fit through the faucet?

I won't even ask how the drain is configured.

I don't know if Kissler would have replacement faucets, but I'm quite sure that I've seen the handles and escutcheons for your faucet at Kissler & Co.

And, I expect that if they sell the handles and escutcheons, they'd sell the cartridges and seats, too.

Kissler has a $500 minimum order, but their sales department should be able to tell you who they ship to regularily in your area, and you'd just have to order the parts through that company.

Go to:

Kissler | Plumbing Repair Parts

and download their plumbing parts catalogue, and you should be able to find parts for your faucet in there. Kissler specializes in old and obsolete plumbing parts. They buy the parts from the same companies that made them for the original faucet manufacturers. It's just that they buy fewer of them because there's much less demand for them now then there used to be.

No, but you do have to bend at the waist for everything to work right.

Drain ?? Is there supposed to be a drain ? Who knew .......

Cool looking sink! I like how the spout is molded in.

Why do you need to replace the faucets?
Those oldies were built to last.....
Replace the seats, washers and packings, apply plumbing grease on the
threads, and they should last another 50 years. Since those escutcheons
are peeling, you may be able to find them, otherwise take them to a
place that chromes auto parts, and get them re-chromed. The handles
look fine, but those can be bought if needed.

We had a plumber over to the house. He said the sink was American Standard:

He thought the metal was too corroded to replate and finding a replacement
stopper would be a challenge, since it's all different nowadays. Though
there may be a place in Montclair, NJ that has replacement parts.

The water really gushes out of the spout. No aerator.
