12 vintage bathroom sinks from American Standard in 1955

Do you have a vintage American Standard sink? If it’s from around 1955, this story might help you identify the name of your design. It’s also fun to look at old brochures, like this one from my personal collection, for color and decorating ideas. 

Above: The American-Standard sink lineup in 1955 included, from left:

  • The new Roxbury
  • The Ledgewood
  • The Marledge

and…

Above, from the left:

  • Trimledge
  • Decledge
  • Dentaledge — yes, a dental sink complete with flushing room and built-in backflow preventer!  Read more about dental sinks here.
  • And the new Buena.

and…

Above: An eighth sink — the Symphony — so beautiful! …

Above: #9 is The Comrade. …

Above, upper right-hand corner: The Viking, a corner sink. …

Above: Those are twin “Companion” lavatories. 

The tile-in sink is a Dresslyn. …

And the metal hudee-rimmed sinks are Highlyns, dropped into Merrilyn vanities (made of wood, not steel).

So many sinks — in so many colors — to choose from in 1955!
