1880s SM Co. Rounded, High-back Porcelain & Cast Iron Sink with Bracket, Faucets

Description: SM CompanyRounded, High-back Porcelain & Cast Iron SinkCirca: 1880s This is an interesting piece. When we acquired it, the porcelain was stained, and the bracket had lost most of itsoriginal paint. It was also lacking faucets and the drain plug. We have parts here to work with, so we decided tosee what we could do, as the sink looked like it had much potential. The porcelain was well cleaned and virtuallyall of the discoloration was removed. It was found that the porcelain is in very good condition, with few dingsor scratches to be found. Judging by the condition, it seemed that it must have been refinished at some point,but acid was used in the cleaning process that has melted away outer coatings on past sinks. That did nothappen with this one. The entire inside of the bowl looks fine save for a couple small, shallow dings, anda very little discoloration that we failed to remove. The metal flange looks good, and as does the wateroverflow grate - and the stopper and chain are in very good condition. The edge of the backsplash thatmeets the wall has some of the typical chips. These were touched up with porcelain paint so that theynow blend in well. The rest of the backsplash is in very good condition, with very few flaws to befound. The two small holes are for a soap dish that could be installed. The "Standard" faucetshad chrome that was badly deteriorated, so it was removed to a great degree, and thefaucets received multiple coats of enamel to protect the brass. The porcelain piecesatop each faucet look very good, as do the rest of the faucets. They were notrecently tested with water, but the movement of the knobs feels right. Thearea around the bowl looks good, and the sides and front are fine down tothe bottom edges that have small, touched up chips, the largest being a shallowone on the left side near the front. We have spare parts, but did not have a matchingbracket for the left side. The spot where it would be bolted to the sink is damaged sothat a bolt will not work. The bracket on the right side looks very good overall. It wasn'tuntil the processing of the pictures that it was discovered that there are some small spotsthat didn't get painted. This will be rectified before the sink is sent out. One would need to becreative in mounting the sink with the one bracket, and the lack of tabs on the back for a wall-wall-mount bracket. The underside had surface rust that was somewhat removed with a wire brush,then it was repainted. The corrosion mainly resides near the edges and the rest is fine. The plumbingpieces came from a vintage sink that had a rod to open and close the drain, thus the round piece onthe pipe. The metal all looks good, and it fit together nicely.
