Hey folks, found this awhile ago picking and havent been able to figure out what it is or what it goes to. its cast iron and about 15" long, and says STANDARD across it. figured Id check with you guys.. If its nothin significant I think Im gonna clean it up and put hooks in the holes and have an interesting place to hang my keys lol

well, impossible to say, anywhere from the 1920s on up to say 1960 or so. you screw it to the wall and the sink/lavatory had ears on back that fit into it, they still have these today although they are made of steel now mostly.
