Over the weekend I spent an afternoon at New Bedford Architectural salvage, and man is that place great. They basically warehouse all of the stuff that gets ripped out of homes during remodeling or demolition. Hundreds of antique, windows, doors, built in cabinets, fire mantels, columns and just random stuff. It has two levels and the second floor is where the real treat is found; it is where every antique toilet and bathtub goes when it dies.
These are super old timey. There was no such thing as an indoor bathroom, because the indoors had not yet been invented.
This is actually a toilet from the distant future that was sent back in time to the distant past. It looks like it runs on jet fuel or was converted into a leaf blower or something. Standing there with all of those historic porcelain crappers made me proud to be a ceramist.
