HERE’S ANOTHER WALL MOUNT KITCHEN FAUCET for our retro recommendation list. The Delta 200 Classic Wall Mount Kitchen Faucet. Isn’t it wonderful looking? Such a quirky blast from the past. Spotted by Scathing Jane. If anyone buys one let us know how you like it. You can buy it directly from the manufacturer via my Pamazon store, for what looks like a pretty good price, $89. Thanks, Jane!
1946 American brand kitchen
Can you believe it? You can still get the exact faucet required for a vintage American-Brand kitchen drainboard sink. It’s available here from Locke Plumbing. The owners tell me they still sell quite a few of them, including to lots of folks in Europe. Click on the thumbnail of the faucet for sale – you can see it’s designed to nestle right into the backsplash of the sink top. I am told it does not fit other sinks, so no need to go there. Cool, huh? I just love having found this – thanks again go to Russell for turning us on to Locke Plumbing. Remember folks, they are also great if you want to fix a particular brand of vintage toilet.
The also are good go-to’s for:
- Hard to find toilet seats
- Bathroom lavatory faucet with pull-out shampoo sprayer
- Retro-style Delta tub and shower faucet set-up
- And remember, Russell raves about their system to connect you with hard-to-find toilet parts.

| From Dishmaster factory, Mitchell, Indiana |
As part of my trip to Louisville last week, I visited the home of the Dishmaster – a fun road trip to Mitchell, Indiana. Heck yeah there is more →
Dishmaster was founded in 1948 – in the wake of World War II and during a period of massive American economic expansion. Before the war, most Americans lived on farms or in crowded cities. The country had suffered through nearly 20 years of deprivation, first from the Great Depression and then the war.
