New old stock Kohler bathtubs from the 1970s — Pink Champagne, Peachblow and more

Eight New Old Stock Kohler bath tubs — some still their crates — up for grabs on craiglist. I’m thinking — 1970s-ish models — because the range of colors — from Avocado and Harvest Gold to Pink Champagne — rare!, Fresh Green, Peachblow and that very common Suez Tan. Thanks to Ross for this TGIF tip!

Above: A Seaforth 5′ tub in Fresh Green (I think). I also think I may have two sinks to match this!

But wait: Are there two different greens, or is the lighting just different. Me so confused. The Kohler color timeline does not show such a variety of greens from the 60s-80s era. Me so confused.

Thanks also to the seller for permission to post all the back to the future photos. The seller tells me:

We are an auction company. We sold out a local store that had been in business since the 60s  … These were part  of his stock. 

Seems like there was a bidder, but then it didn’t work out.

I believe the tub in the foreground is Pink Champagne (lighting makes it look more lilac than pink), while the one at the far right is Peachblow.

Above: The Kohler Dynametric tub has been in the line a long, long time. I have one in my bathroom — installed 2003!

The stash is down in Arkansas. Here’s the link again if you’re interested!
