in need of old sink!
We are renovating our pre-war apt. and need a 1930’s sink like the one pictured. Specifically it must be on 2 metal legs (a pedestal will not work b/c of the drain location). Anyone out there have any ideas about where to find one (and quickly? We are willing to get it sprayed.

I see these on Craigslist from time-to-time. Not sure if you’re looking for the green color in the picture, but here’s a link to one posted two days ago in Yonkers. http://newyork.craigslist.org/wch/atq/1477364488.html.
P.S. THE SINK IS FROM THE 1920’S GABIPAINTINGINC@AOL.COM

I have never seen a sink at Eddie’s. He mostly has doors and sometimes furniture. Call and search web sites of salvage stores, such as Old Goode Things in NYC and Old House Parts in Maine. The lady who bought my coop in Jackson Heights tossed a sink just like this, but alas that was a year ago.
I had very good luck during my renovation with George Taylor in Manhattan.

Iris, The sink pictured has two knobs and a mixer faucet–I assume you’re thinking it had separate hot and cold taps? I have seen these taps offered new for sale, though unclear if the OP needs them.
I can’t give it away, but I have a sink just like what you’re looking for. The big problem with these old sinks is finding a replacement faucet. No one really manufactures those side-mounted faucets anymore. I got a replacement through a catalog about five years ago–Restoration Hardware?–but when I received the same catalog the next year, the faucet was gone.
