    AMAZING BATHROOM! We have:
    3 Tepeco urinals
    1 Universal Rundle Forward Trap toilet
    1 Gerber Northpoint? toilet
    1 1931 Crane Speedway toilet

    I read that this place was built in 1896. So the urinals might be original. The toilets are definitely newer though.

  • @ILoveVintageToilets
    @ILoveVintageToilets 12 років тому +1

    The first hint to the antique restroom you found was the tiny door. Older restrooms often had small doors. The urinals are huge for the tiny flush that they produce. Great find though, so rare to find a bathroom this big that is this age.

    You know the Urinals are original because of all those CRACKS. The first toilet is YES a Universal Rundle. The 2nd, the bowl looks like the first, but that trapway on the 2nd one BLOWS MY MIND! It looks so modern or retrofit, a first for me! But theres no mistake those 1st 2 bowls are 30ish or even 1950s replacements. The 3rd one is definatly a original.

    The foward trap toilet were most likely a U/R on a flushometer.And the last toilet was a 1931 Crane Speedway.It is from 1931 because of it's logo.

    The second one is definitely a Speedway, but the extended-lip type bowl design was not made on a large scale after the end of WWII, and disappeared entirely by 1974.

  • @TwyfordsLad
    @TwyfordsLad 10 років тому +3

    My best guess would be that the first one is a Universal Rundle, second a Gerber, then the Crane Speedway which looks original which likely makes the urinals Crane also.

    That Speedway toilet is definitely a Crane. I have seen that logo on early Hanover toilets from the 40's. I'm pretty sure the urinals are also Crane. I'm not sure about the reverse trap toilets. They sort of remind me of a Universal Rundle bowl.

    @DieselDoverFTW Thats what i love about them! :-) I get SO Bored with todays modern flushers. I wish they would come back with these forward flushers. I remember our old highscool built in 1936, it had 4 of them, the one on the far right stall had a wall hung "Standard" Modernus, another was a Eljer, and I dont recall the other two, but they were all removed in the late 80s, then the bldg was torn down in 2004.

    I would have to say that last one is DEFINITELY a Crane. I never saw that style logo on a Crane before though, but it looks alot like a couple of vintage Sanetos I saw on here, as far as the pedestal design is concerned. The reverse trap bowls appear to be very early Universal Rundles. I can't tell what the urinals are. Were they marbelized or were they just badly cracked and worn?

    • @floridiantoiletsandmore9449
      @floridiantoiletsandmore9449 2 роки тому

      I think the urinals are 60's Crane Sanitors because 60's Cromwells use that same design.

    • @jbsimmons54
      @jbsimmons54 Рік тому

      When you say reverse trap, that's what we have today, waste flows out the back way as the trap is in the rear of the terlit. You want to say front flush or front trap for the yesteryear designs where the trap is really in front of the user and waste flows toward the user before going into sewer. The hump in front is the trapway path. Gotta use correct terminology and reference. 😊
