Toilet seat search: vintage style curved elongated

9 years ago

I am in desperate search for toilet seats that are remotely similar to the one pictured. It is the last original (of 6) toilet seats on the commercial style toilets in my 1929 house (ok so there are 9 toilets in total in the house, but the other three are normal tank style ones of which two are still original with their original seats and I have a bathroom machineries reproduction toilet with seat to replace the one that is not in the garage area Jack and Jill).

What makes this different from everything I can find available for sale is the curved shape toward the front of the bowl. Sure, the run of the mill elongated seats fit just fine, but I am looking for something close to original. I mean look at the hinge! It has chrome (going to get them replated) octagon ends to match the octagon faucets.

Ps hope you didn't take the "dirty" thing as an insult. I think those are great. It's just that old, non re-furnished public places seem to be where you see stuff like that.

Call every salvage shop you can find in your area and let them know what you are looking for. That way they can keep an eye out for you. You could also put an ad up stating what you are looking for and how much you will pay. You never know if someone is doing a remodel and tearing one out.

Now you have the search words from the description on that site to improve your chances? But "almost impossible to find" hurts...
