It's the steel swaying you with those handles in particular. Our '35 bungalow actually has some art deco details and fixtures. Your handles seem more MCM, but they still have that deco look too. (Note: I'm not an expert on any of this.) FWIW, I envy yours just a wee bit--ours can be tricky to use when your hands are wet.MJ1987 wrote:More pics. Included the underside of the farm sink. Seems to be marked 10 4 37. Is it just me, or does the cabinet look 40s/50s?
I recently a month ago (even if it feels more recent than that) took some pics of our sink so we could ID its age as well, because our sink looked older than it turned out to be. (1918ColonialRevival, you seeing this?) So now I have to ask...is yours also made by Standard Sanitary Manufacturing Company by chance? Your underside shot looks awful similar to mine with that font. [Referece from another discussion: Hey, Texas_Ranger! I remember where else I saw copper tubing now! And look at all that greeeennn first pic below.]
We have an October 18, 1935 stamp, and it looks...a lot like yours except I think we still have our original mix fixture.
This pic below was taken before I started taking the contact paper off the front of the cabinet. We have what I think are bakelite handles on ours. I'm still slowly cleaning it up as time allows, and only recently (actual recently this time) found out about the handle material buried under the latex paint. I thought I took a picture of them, but apparently I didn't. It looks like your undercabinet is a different model. Ours has a cutting board on the right hand side. Your vents are incorporated in the center doors, where ours are a separate upper stationary panel. We seem to have the same hinge type though. I wonder if your center doors are like that because maybe your basin isn't as deep as ours? I can't really tell from the picture. I just checked again, and we even have the same leg style. Our kitchen is galley shaped, so it's hard to take a pic of the sink and show the legs. So it's not a straight across kick plate. Our legs (base?) look just like yours.
This is kind of neat, actually. If your sink is from the same company, ours is like an older sibling of the same model!
