A Little History:Andrew Young McDonald, founder of the A. Y. McDonald Mfg. Co., was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1834. He was orphaned as a young child and became the sole support of his aunt, Eelen Young. At age 14, he began his apprenticeship as a plumber under the guidance of James Steele. A.Y., as he was known, was a very quick study in the plumbing trade and received his journeyman plumber certification a few months earlier than the usual seven year apprenticeship term. This ingenuity fueled tremendous growth in the company. In 1877, A.Y. erected his first factory and iron foundry. In 1882, another addition was built on the factory which included a brass foundry and machine shop. The following year, in 1883, A.Y. McDonald entered the plumbing wholesale business with the establishment of his branch warehouse in Chicago. Today, A.Y. McDonald Industries is a tangible symbol of the American dream. So many families, vendors, and employees have contributed to the success of this company over the past 157 years. Andrew Young McDonald once said to his children, “I’ve started it, and you can take it as far as you want to go.” He would be so proud of his company’s success and longevity and the many people who contributed along the way.
The company has been around for well over 150 years.
Great for that Vintage restore. They are not repros they are real. These are Chrome over Brass faucets. The threading is perfect they might need new rubbergrommet/ washers but all thread and tighten nice. The HOT does have some heat / blemishing onthe handle. Have both washer and nut for easy sinkinstallation.
