Here's an oldie, anyone wanna guess the age or brand even? The faucet spout from what I can tell is original but he hot and cold were "Frankensteined" in there. So the faucet will have 2 manufactures to guess at.

It was all taken apart by a handyman before I got there. Project was to "refresh" the place with new tile on the floor and walls where damaged and add a custom shower. I had put it all back together. It all still worked, thankfully because I would have had a tough time finding parts I'm sure.

Looks like a Kohler or maybe American Standard, circa 1915 to 1920 ?

I’m thinking Crane @Hilly, but my father (who could write a lost art on faucet/toilet repair) is thinking American Standard.

Iwould guess crane spout and am std valves.

Hilly

I'm unsure of the original "standing drain and spout" but I'm sure the the hot and cold have been identified as AmStd "Re-Nu". Close to certan from all the pictures and feedback from online forums and research.
The sink itself is stamped on the bottom "J. L. Mott Iron Works" with a stamp for Dec 12, 1899 and then a secondary stamp of Dec 29 1899. I think those are the days on it. So maybe a manufacturers date and then a shipping date, but who knows.

JL Mott from Mott Haven, Bronx NY. A lot of history behind that sink

Here's the sink (or at least a close match) in a vintage ad for American Standard. It's from the early 1900s.
