3 solid brass section lavatory sink legs intended for marble slab sink , markings appear to be hand engraved "standard" my research is dating to 1900's ? I'm thinking prior to American standard ? Any help greatly appreciated !!

Could they be from the Standard Brass and Manufacturing Co., they have been around since the 1920's located in Texas? HH

That is definitively the mark of the company that became American Standard, a name which wasn't officially adopted until 1967, despite earlier mergers (most notably in 1927), and that the company informally called itself American Standard (shortened from American Radiator and Standard Sanitary corp.) but 1967 is when this mark disappeared.

All that being said I'm sure they're a fir bit older than 1967, But how much older? I'd only be guessing -- 1920's?.. But they surely have decent value to them.
