John Douglas Royal toilet

[Terry]

John Douglas, a 1905 Royal Toilet. At least that's what it says on the rim of the bowl. Some people claim that the slang name “John” for the toilet, came from the John Douglas Company of Cincinnati putting his name on the toilet in America. There were actually a few manufacturers with John in their logos or names.

This one from 1910

I like old handles and old fixtures too. Post a photo of that if you have one available.

We did an old Brownstone in NYC and they had these toilets and during the alteration all the old toilets and claw bath tubs were destroyed along with the inlaid wood around the fire places

The Crane shower is complete with thermometer, transfer valve and 3 body sprays. The shower head is Thomas Maddock's "Madspray" with air induction.
The American Standard Barber faucet is my newest project. This is the only 4" barber faucet I have ever seen.

That barbers faucet is pretty neat! Never seen anything like that really! I've installed a lot of salon sinks over the years, but all very modern in comparison.

I've worked on 2 old Seattle homes with that style shower setup. Not sure if I can find any photos.
