<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 4402889, member: 51"]Good idea to look for a manufacturers mark or stamp. Apparently a big thing lately, people refitting their houses with vintage toilets to match the era of the home. More common with MCM bathrooms, and all the colored toilets of the 50s/60s. There was an entertaining New York Times article about this a half year ago. Not sure if everyone can open it, but here's a link:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/05/realestate/retro-home-decor-bathroom-kitchen.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/05/realestate/retro-home-decor-bathroom-kitchen.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/05/realestate/retro-home-decor-bathroom-kitchen.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I think yours is a bit older as suggested, and I'm seeing a few on Ebay, but none sold. This one below claims to be completely restored. Would be better to find one that sold to get a true estimate of value. Also kind of a difficult item to ship, so have to take that into account. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/174710979477?hash=item28ad95fb95:g:Y-IAAOSwWBJf6OLe" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/174710979477?hash=item28ad95fb95:g:Y-IAAOSwWBJf6OLe" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/174710979477?hash=item28ad95fb95:g:Y-IAAOSwWBJf6OLe</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
