Hello. Can anyone tell me what 50s sink manufacturer had this logo? This is in our kitchen, and I can’t seem to find any info on it. Thanks!

What part of the sink has this logo?
This is just under the faucet. I guess it may actually be part of the faucet? I'm not quite sure. Hopefully the picture helps.
I searched Google images with every description I could think of from 50’s kitchen sink to plumbing parts and sink logos and several in between. Came up blank.
Wyoming? Or somewhere else? Location might make a difference, might not.
Here’s what I would do in NW Ohio. It used to work when I was 25 and looking for something old. Downside, now I’m 71.
I would go to the neighborhood plumbing supply and talk to the owner. His grandfather started the company. Remember when that was the case? Well, if he didn’t know the answer he’d ask one of the guys (old). Usually came up with the answer and if not, “Let me give my dad a call” (retired).
Local or nearby foundry that might have cast sinks? Even if closed down, search their history and you might get lucky. I passed an old almost decayed “Tile” company on a regular job drive. Caved in bldg looked pretty neat, figured I’d search and see if it was a long gone floor or wall tile manufacturer.
Found that they started out and invented new things in “tiling” farm ground tile. Learned a bit about the area I live in that was called the Great Black Swamp of Ohio. Here the right clay soil was in abundance and the earth was rich, but often flooded and so flat, didn’t drain well. Hence these “engineers” got in the production that enabled the area to inhabit and grow.
So give those examples a shot. You got nothin to lose and it might be educational. Sorry I couldn’t answer your question.
And if you do find out, stop back and let me know. I’m captivated already in your hunt!
Best of luck.
Thanks so much for your efforts and the advice! I will try to do some local digging and let you know if I find anything. Yes. I am in Wyoming. Thanks again!
