My house was built in the 1790s. It had an outhouse until 1956 when a pair of stylish porcelain thrones were installed. I love the old fixtures. One still has the original toilet seat on it and it's fantastic. The other toilet has been through 3 toilet seats in 4 or 5 times as many years. Does anyone make a quality toilet seat for a round bowl in white with traditional nickel plated hardware? I've exhausted my Google-fu.

Had the same problem with my family s 124 year old house. I was lucky to have a very old hardware store in town and the owner found one in the basement.i d check those first,then e bay,mabey a big plumbing supply in ny ,chicago etc.hope that helps.

Buy separate hardware from the seat? I dunno.

EDIT: Hell fahr!! This is a gun forum. Send the metal hardware off to be coated in nickel.

But which recoil pad would be most appropriate?

Definitely one that redirects the recoil........

Maybe a cast-off toilet seat similar to a Weatherby stock........

lose some weight..........

Hardware.

It’s got to be threaded for a suppressor...😀

ROFL! almost spilled coffee there

If you have a recycling store near you, check there. Habitat for Humanity has one here called RESTORE. They usually have old toilets, windows, doors, and all kinds of stuff.

I'm thinking Monte Carlo - with a rollover cheek piece...


But seriously, it wouldn't be too difficult to make one or have one made. Imagine what a nice slab of walnut or birds eye maple would be. Classic and gorgeous.

An oil finish, and stains would be unnoticeable.

Yeah..... we all need to drop the mouse, and Slowly Back Away...

I can't believe that no one has pointed out that it was the Swedes who invented the toilet seat and the Norwegians who improved the design by cutting a hole in the center.

Send it to the wrong wood worker and you may never see it again.

LMAO!

You need to sit back, and study on this some more princeton.

Which problem is this the best solution for?

They are all made cheap now, even the best brands.

Me? I'd go the DIY route. Take the hardware off the old seat, trace the bowl on cardboard and then cut out a new seat and lid on 3/4" marine plywood. Shape it, fill in the voids with putty, sand it and finish it as you want.

Buy another seat. They don’t cost much.

We threw out a solid red oak seat years back.

Big Girls?

Holy smokes... the load moment. Some engineering... repurposed F14 swingwing pivots? Or are the paddles not so much weight bearing as tenderly cupping, that far outboard?

A family friend related the tale of the boarding house he lived in while attending college. Their was often residue smeared on the seat of the communal toilet. The general opinion was that the delivery of same was provided by a girl of rather large posterior dimensions. One day, when everyone was in house, Fred cleaned up yet another smear. He meticulously cleaned the seat, then smeared a glob of peanut butter onto it. At that point, he summoned a house meeting in the bathroom, whereupon he pointed out the glob, said that the problem was on-going and needed to be addressed. At that point, he wiped a finger through the glob, stuck it in his mouth and delcared, "Yep, it's tschit, all right."

With a guy like that around, who needs toilet seats.

Am I to presume that is your subtle way to cheer me up on a dreary day?

Probably not what you’re looking for, but I was in Japan not long ago for work and have to admit they rule the world in toilet seat technology. The seat in the bathroom of my hotel room was heated, vibrated, and shot warm water up your butt. It was almost sensory overload all the stuff it could do and the control panel had more selections than my truck’s entertainment system. It was truly a luxury pooping experience. I’ve got to admit those Japs know how to crap.

Recoil pad? Hell, I need a muzzle brake!!

A few years back, there was to be a television show about a toilet seat with a crack in it (instead of on it) that was to be titled, "F#%k, It Pinches!" Somehow, the title was misheard over the phone and instead the show became "Picket Fences" and went a whole different direction..

Like a gentle vibration or a driving down RR tracks rumble to speed up the process?

TFF

I keep hearing about these. While this thread was a watercloset luddite's celebration of bathroom technology, I can't say I've not been tempted. I'm wondering if they can save user preferences, like my truck does for each driver. If I were to upgrade to a fancy new Toto shïtter, It'd probably need a new and separate room built around it.

Yes, and an expression of the rage I felt when reading you threw out old faithful, presumably for one your wife could fit with carpet, padding and other dangly adornments.

Well Kingsley, if it makes you feel any better, the old seat was in an outhouse in Wabigoon, Ontario. Now, if you want to talk about foam toilet seats, and minus 40---.
This is not ours, just an image from the net.

The icebox in Wabigoon my grandparents had before 'hydro", 1949, would be worth a pretty penny in 2017.

What's that stove pipe all about?

Like I said, that is not ours, but the pipes vent the smell, sort of.

I was going to suggest a Decelerator, myself.

A few years ago I read about an electric toilet that someone in Japan had invented. The problem was that Japanese women had the habit of flushing every time they made 'unladylike bathroom noises'. During a major sittin' spell, she might flush 4 or 5 times. All the excess flushing was causing some serious water problems, both in water supply and in sewage disposal. So, this guy invented a device on the toilet that would emit a loud flushing sound. When the lady needed to cover up her unladylike sounds, she just pushed a button. Users greatly reduced their water use.

If it weren't for flatulence, women would never learn to lie. It's the gateway drug of polite little lies.

I for one, have known women, that were too good at lying. I seriously doubt if gas started it ll. ( I should have said, with due respect). To Kingston, not the women.
