Been looking hard for an old post war Crane Drexel sink for my powder room remodel in this old house that didn't cost an arm and leg. No luck. Dropped by the local Habitat Restore and found this. Not exactly what I wanted but for $15 I bought it. Stamped made Jan 1931 its unbelievably in perfect condition. Unsure if I'll use it. Looking for a metal "console" frame for it. Anyway it's strange what a person ends up wanting.365580

This is the Crane Drexel in case anyone knows about one (yeah, i know how likely that is) preferably in good cosmetic condition. Valves are available

My last house had a sink similar to this and in perfect condition. The spout and handles came out of the back od the basin which made them soooo easy to wash and then rinse.
