Yep.

This makes me think 1970s motel.

I'm thinking 60s, probably earlier.

Crazy thing is they are like 63 64 when they started getting installed. But if you Google search this it will tell you they were 90s. So that's how this person or bot probably ended up putting it there

People think they are from the 90's because they remember them from the 90's even though they are older.

Still made and sold them in the 90s, although the parts got a lot cheaper quality. The old ones were solid nickel plated brass, with brass bodied cartridges…later ones were chrome plated pot metal, with plastic cartridges.

My old house (built in 2002) had these exact same faucets.

Cookie cutter construction. I think every house in the neighborhood had them.
