Description :
This original early 20th-century porcelain plumbing stand-off was patented on March 16, 1915. Designed to support exposed plumbing pipes away from walls, this utilitarian piece exemplifies the quality and durability of pre-war American sanitary hardware. The angled shape and open cylindrical form are typical of Victorian-era plumbing architecture. Though it shows minor wear and light discoloration from age, the surface remains intact and structurally solid—ideal for historic restoration projects or as a collectible display piece.
