Greetings everyone ... here's a photo of a 1930 "Standard" electric dishwasher/sink. I'm assuming that "Standard" was the precursor to "American Standard" brand plumbing fixtures.
Loads more photos on the Flickr site, listed below. Great site for those interested in the vintage American bungalow style. CLICK HERE TO GO TO bradross's LINK

What a fascinating site! Some of those bathrooms were pretty dramatic. We had friends with deep maroon, almost purple bath fixtures in the downstairs bathroom. Their home might have dated from the 30s. They were the ones with the Apex dw. | ||

 Up until now, I was only aware of three manufacturers of Electric Sinks in the 1920's and 1930's: Kohler, Conover, and Walker - purchased by GE in 1930. You might be absolutely correct in stating that Standard, later became American Standard. And thus, there is a forth Electric Sink manufacturer from that era. Mike

From the font used in the last pic, it's clear that this sink was made by the Standard Sanitary Manufacturing Company which merged with the American Radiator Company to form American Standard.

It is indeed the “Standard" part of American Standard
According to Wikipedia, In 1929 Standard Manufacturing Company consolidated with the American Radiator Company to form the American Radiator and Standard Sanitary Corporation. The heritage of American Standard began in 1892, when industrialist John B. Pierce's business, Pierce Steam Heating Company, merged with independent manufacturers to form the American Radiator Company. In 1929, the American Radiator Company merged with the Standard Sanitary Manufacturing Company (founded in 1875) to form the American Radiator and Standard Sanitary Corporation. The plumbing division, Standard Sanitary, would continue to sell their products under the "Standard" label until 1967, when the company changed its name to American Standard Corporation. The American Standard label has been used for both divisions from that year on….PAT COFFEY
