I can't remember seeing one of these fittings before, but I just thought it was kind of cool! I like how it bends around the other pipe.

Pretty common for old brass piping. Yup, I always point those out to buyers.

I see that fitting very rarely. Does anyone know what it's called?

In my experience, they're not that rare. They're still readily available in copper and can be ordered in brass and galvanized.

Back when the one in the pic was installed, it was called a cross-over bend. Today they're called a full cross-over or cross-over coupling.
