Look underneath the sink.
There might be a sticker or tag on one of the water lines built into the faucet.
My first instinct is that it looks like ancient Kohler.
 
There might be a brand name printed or embossed into the top of the drain opening, in the sink bowl.
 
What is your issue with the faucet anyway?
I think you buried the lead, as they say.

If it is leaking around one of the handles, or dripping, you can take the valves apart to get new guts.
From the top side, if lucky.
If it is Kohler, you will pbly have to be a contortionist and usually have to remove the leaking hot or cold valve entirely, from above and below.
You also have to spin off the escutcheon located below the handle, which supports the valve body in the hole in the sink.
Overnight soaking in vinegar helps, by tightly wrapping the leaky side’s handle in vinegar saturated paper towels, to dissolve minerals that are in the threads of the escutcheon.
Then next day, sometimes a rubber glove helps you to apply enough twist to remove it by hand.
Or wrap with MANY layers of duct tape, and loosen it with big channel lock pliers.
Plan on some teeth marks, choose where they will show, usually left and right is best.
Then remove the cartridge from the valve body with a pair of looong oversized wrenches, they usually get fused on pretty hard from minerals.
Penetrating oil often helps at this stage.
FYI, the faucet handles might have a tiny set screw, or you might just be able to carefully pry them off the valve stem.
There is often a very snug fit onto a plastic fitting which holds the handle onto the stem.
This plastic part might break when pulling off the handle, you can get more from Kohler.
They usually only send free parts for newer fixtures.
But if you call them, always say you are the original owner, and don’t know the age of the fixture.
 
Hey Jeff,
I've been doing this since 1974. The "lead" and question were the information that I wanted.:)
How to repair the faucet was not what I asked, just if anyone KNEW what the faucet brand was so I could pull parts to repair it for the customer tomorrow.;)
If you would check the "profiles" you could have not wasted 15 min of your time. There are professionals on here that just want a little input from the other professionals.
Welcome to the forum!

Not one of us has saw it all, regardless of how long we’ve been in the plumbing world. I find this forum a very helpful resource to bounce ideas off of other plumbers!
 
I agree. none of us know it ALL. But with a "handle" of House Doc, an icon like mine, and 10 years on this forum, you might assume that I had some knowledge. ;)
Or am a posser, as many of us see here. (Not mentioning any names).
And, Jeff, I'm sure that you meant well, {and not a posser!}
I'm sure that most of us have had a customer standing behind us telling us how a job should be done. (That's just kinda how it felt.)
Sorry if I ruffled any feathers :oops:
 
Hey! Yes I've learned a lot in the last 46 years of doing this. Plumbing, electrical, carpentry, painting and appliance repairs (among others). ( Damn appliance are all "electronic" now and I can identify a circuit board, but that's about it!):eek:
I check this forum out almost every day and sometimes just shake my head at some of the things the wannabes come up with. We've got some good Pros here and I don't jump in unless I can really add to what they say. And I'm not going to step on these "posers" toes unless they are so far out in right field that someone could get hurt. Let them think that they just might know what they are talking about!:confused:
 
That’s funny, but I talked to Moen and they sent me the breakdown for it.
 
5971 concentrix widespread lav faucet with the H202P handle insert kit. Yep.
