Going vintage is on the rise as we are beginning to see the reinvention of past designs with a modern twist. The growing trend is so successful because of the limitless possibilities of individuality with the unique options that vintage items present.
In today’s fast pace world, it is too easy to lose track of what signifies quality and replace it with attributes that define speed, ease and convienence. Often, we miss the constitution of value in our everyday products. If we listen to our elders (whom we are constantly reminded of their wisdom), we would notice their keen ability to spot a “quality product” over a modern-day imposter.
How is “Vintage” defined? Dictionary.com says “representing the high quality of a past time.” Speakman couldn’t agree more. Their company history tells a story of a local business that was obsessed with quality and made a promise to always offer the best showerheads on the market and design shower and bath fixtures that provide a luxurious bathing experience at an affordable price.
In 1923, Speakman launched the patenting of the Anystream® self-cleaning showerhead. The 
showerhead components were manufactured by craftsmen from solid brass material, machined to thousands-of-an-inch tolerances, highly polished by a grinding and buffing specialist, and finished with copper, nickel, and chromium plating. The result was a timelessly attractive consumer product that functioned impeccably, and for years would be virtually indestructible by nature of its construction. This is the kind of quality our elders were used to. No wonder they are so reluctant to fall into the trap of today’s time by purchasing mass-produced products that we all (undeniably) know will need to be replaced shortly.
Speakman is (being one of the only manufacturers left) still producing high quality, solid brass showerheads. In fact, the trademarked Anystream® plunger nozzle system is still used today. This was definitely quality built to last. To celebrate Speakman’s infamous quality and reinstate a design structure that symbolizes the cultural advancements of the 1920′s, Speakman introduces the Anystream® Vintage™ Showerhead (S-3019). Add this unique fixture to any bathroom. It’s design is so elegant, while screaming durability and functionality. This statement piece will offer unbeatable performance and remind you (and your family) the difference between quality and mediocrity.
This signature showerhead, constructed of solid brass, functions off of the same innovative Anystream® 360º spray technology that was made famous by the classic 1920’s showerhead. By simply adding an octagonal concave cut into base of the showerhead, the new design becomes unique and sets the pace for a modern vintage appeal in the bathroom. The Speakman Anystream® Vintage™ 64 Spray Showerhead showcases Speakman’s trademarked Anystream® plunger nozzle system and pressure-compensating Autoflo® limiter precisely control 8 jets and 64 spray channels, transforming low-flow water pressure into forceful, fully adjustable sprays. Swivel the sculpted adjusting arm to transition effortlessly through needling full-body, rinsing gentle rain, and drenching full-flood sprays.
