Crane Neuvogue "Waterfall" Sink

Description

  The Neuvogue fixtures display the streamline look of the late 1930s. The rectangular sink top was perched on a china pedestal, or a sleek tubular chrome plated stand. "Neuvogue" sinks featured a wide waterfall shaped integral china spout set on top of the flat sink top, with ovoid lever handles mounted on the sides of the spout. The basin was a distinctive half round shape. I was looking for a value on this sink. The one that I have has the chrome plated steel stand and appears to be more rare than the pedestal stand. Anybody have a guess as to what it's worth. What I've came up with was a range from $1000-$3500.

History
Henry Dreyfuss was a noted industrial designer of the 1930s and 40s. He was born in New York City in 1904, and died in Pasadena CA in 1972. His design work could be found in objects as varied as farm implements and tractors to telephones, airliner interiors, to Hoover vacuum cleaners and Polaroid cameras. For those of us interested in bathroom fixtures, his most notable design work is found in the Crane Mfg Co line of upscale bathroom fixtures, "Neuvogue". The Neuvogue fixtures display the streamline look of the late 1930s. The rectangular sink top was perched on a china pedestal, or a sleek tubular chrome plated stand. "Neuvogue" sinks featured a wide waterfall shaped integral china spout set on top of the flat sink top, with ovoid lever handles mounted on the sides of the spout. The basin was a distinctive half round shape.
