This is a farmhouse kitchen sink. It's in rough but usable condition. Needs reconditioning. Any idea what this might be worth? Any idea what this symbol is and whether this makes it more valuable? How much does it cost to get it fixed up?
You need to be asking a plumber about the sink, or checking in your local hardware/home improvement shop.
The sink is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

“Diana” line, which is identifiable because of the big red emblem on the sink with the goddess Diana the huntress.

Youngstown Kitchens: Here is a typical Youngstown sink base. It’s “early years” most likely. Immediately after WWII, a lot of homemakers would just buy this unit, a sink base with integral drainboard sink. The idea was that you could add the additional pieces later. The porcelain double drainboard sink is very desirable today — you have to find them vintage, currently there are no reproductions that I know of. However, you can get this look in stainless steel from Elkay. Youngstowns were the biggest sellers in the 50s — they were marketed nationwide. The early Youngstowns have a distinctive pull. And later, they introduced their “Diana” line, which is identifiable because of the big red emblem on the sink with the goddess Diana the huntress figured in. Johnstown steel kitchen cabinets may also have really been Youngstowns with a different label. I don’t know how much of this re-marketing went on, but I suspect there was more of it than just this example.
