Colorful marbleized Kohler toilet seats from 1929

Doing research on bathroom fixture colors, I came across this tidbit: Colors for Kohler toilet seats in 1929. Be still my heart. Who’da thunk plastic could be so beautiful! Why don’twe have toilet seats like this today. I should go into business. Alas, I think it would be a good way to lose a lot of money. Source: The Building Technology Heritage Library.

These toilet seats are another particular obsession of mine. I tried to buy the one above right off the toilet at this fun estate sale — it was SO HEAVY. I know most folks would think that is gross, but, golly, ain’t they ever heard of Lysol? In any case, no one has sold me one yet.
