What 1941 tells you about the pipe in Malverne
Housing of this vintage generally means galvanized steel as standard, and at this age the inside diameter of a half-inch line can be materially narrower than it was when it was fitted. The classic sign is that pressure is worst at the fixtures furthest from where the water comes in. More on 1940s supply pipe.
