But I won't tell him that you told me.

[Devan5028]

I just taped a 1960s standard toilet. Check it out in my videos.

[an65001]

This is using a 1.6gpf flushometer. See, these are very efficent toilets!

[Devan5028]

I never saw a reverse trap toilet on plushomiter!

[ILoveVintageToilets]

@BoyneMaiden It would be great if you could get them on video!

[seaco2000]

@ILoveVintageToilets

What a great video!! I have some videos too!!

[toiletfan1]

@TheJoey1978 Can you film it?

[PossessedDonutz]

I came here thinking something would happen involving water or other materials shooting from the toilet out into the open... seeing "ejecto"....

[cvsnoster]

Such a waste of water >time<

[an65001]

@cvsnoster This has a 1.6gpf flushometer you know...

[MrBrombomb]

I just recently rescued a 1920s Dammen Potteries toilet that someone had thrown out. The tank & bowl are both in nice shape & need a good cleaning. I also have to repair the overflow pipe. It is missing the tank lid, but I'm using a piece of wood that I'm going to cut in the shape of the tank It is a reverse trap toilet. I'll post a video as soon as I clean it up.

[MrBrombomb]

@MrBrombomb It actually says Camden Pottery Co.( also known as Capoco) on it, which was out of Camden, NJ. I believe that it was manufactured in 1921 though I couldn't make out an exact date of manufacture.

I know James, not stupid

[TheOrganiston9th]

Does anyone know if a list exists anywhere, showing every vintage Standard model name such as Ejectos, Devoros, Chinals et al? I've been "collecting" Standard toilets/urinals since I was a kid... about 38 years now. I'm glad to see I'm not alone...

[tallguypsu]

Great Video!! I think this toilet isn't as old as the 20's. I think it might be newer (1950's?). I'm very suprised to see a reverse trap toilet with a sloan flushometer that feeds into the TOP of the bowl instead of behind the seat. Also, notice that there are only two bolts that hold the bowl to the floor instead of the typical 4 bolts for a 14" older toilet roughin. I heard that A.S. used to sell new "older style" models of toilets to fit a period bathroom remodel. Could this be one?

[ngtflyer]

Does the job far better than any modern low-flow!

[HardDriveGuru]

Was the flushometer installed later, or was the toilet installed with it?

[MrBrombomb]

Check out force311999's video entitled, "Military Bathroom At Main Street Armory." The video is a shoot of the basement bathroom of the 1915 building & is loaded with vintage reverse-trap toilets which all still have the original Sloan Royal bell-shaped flushometers with bullet-shaped handles. Even though the lighting in the video is poor, it is still an awesome video.

[MrBrombomb]

I'm surprised that this toilet has the water inlet on the top of the bowlsince most toilets of this type and year have the water inlet at the back of the bowl. Some states are probably more strict about using low consumption toilets than others. I know of a bar in Portland, PA that has a Modernus bowl with a 1950s Cadet tank in the Men's room. It's a close-coupled unit. Name of the bar: The Overlook Tavern. However, I live in New Jersey.

[toiletfan1]

@MrBrombomb Cab you film it?

[MrBrombomb]

I'd be pleasantly surprised if they did. Dorney Park does still exist to this day. Seeing as I don't drive, I don't know when or if I'll get back there. I'm curious to see if the old Ejectos are stiil there. I've noticed that PA tends to have a lot more older toilets for some reason.

[ILoveVintageToilets]

I have noticed that some places have a lot more than others. It is probably just that PA hasn't replaced them yet while other places have. In England, for example, toilets will stay around for hundreds of years and no one will blink an eye, the same with buildings. Alas, in the US we are quick to replace things for no reason. I have noticed lots of older toilets in WV also, probably due to financial restraints.

[maroonloo]

@ILoveVintageToilets Water restrictions have started now in england and older toilets are slowly dieing out sadly.

[ramdomness453]

@maroonloo Water restrictions started on toilets in like 1980 when toilets were only allowed to be 7.5 litres a flush, then that went down to the current 6 litres in the 1990's, water restrictions on toilets is nothing new here.

[orangie84]

I think so far as the replacing of public toilets go in the US..

It's probably because people destroy them on purpose leaving the company no choice but replace them constantly..

We do have older public toilets though..

You will see them usually in city park restrooms..

But they will be leaking all over the place and have either pieces of the porcelain missing or be cracked all over..

The city refuses to spend money to replace them.

[MrBrombomb]

There is an amusement park in PA(Dorney Park) That has or had these toilets in some of their restrooms. I haven't been there in over 20 years so I don't know if they are still there. It was a mix of Ejectos, 1970s Maderas, and 1970s Cadets in the handicapped stalls(one Cadet per restroom. I would love to see one of these toilets from the1920s with a tank. Nice Find!! If you go back there, could you please do a full shoot of the restroom(minus the newer Madera)?

[ILoveVintageToilets]

Well, look no further that 0551419's video of a Standard Ejecto with a tank right here on YouTube! I hope to go back there eventually and I will try to do a full shoot, but this tiny restroom is very very busy and I never know when someone will walk in! It would be great to know if Dorney Park still had those...if it was 20 years ago I doubt they still will but who knows? These toilets were built to last!

You should check out the toiletfan1 channel.

thats flushed many a poo

[comgeek24]

I've only recently begun to appreciate a working toliet. One of the toliets in our house developed a crack in the tank, from my mom throwing herself onto it all the time (she's a big lady and has bad knees) so every time I'd have to use it I would turn the supply valve on just as I was getting done, then when the tank filled, then flush and turn off the supply valve again. I just got a new one recently and it is SO nice not to have to do that every freakin' time!

[sproutkitty]

some wierd "standard" commode with reverse trapway

[ClassicTVMan81]

Does it look as though the original relief valve in the flushometer (which was #A-36-A for toilets) was replaced with one designed for 3.5 gallon flushing (#A-38-A)?

[ILoveVintageToilets]

It definitely flushes with less water than the other Standard Ejecto that is on YouTube. That one seems to have more power, but then again it is a tank model, not a flushometer one. The flushometer looks fairly new, but not LC. So I think that 3.5 gpf is probably correct. I cant tell the 3.5 flushometer model from other ones though.

[ClassicTVMan81]

The flushometer currently on this toilet would have replaced the original one sometime in the 1970s or early 1980s.

[Drakee99]

Looks like there were multiple stalls? What kind of toilets were in them?

[ILoveVintageToilets]

There were 4 stalls total. In the next stall over there was another "Standard" Ejecto model exactly the same as this one. In one of the stalls there was a 1960s Standard Madera and in the disabled stall there was a brand new 1.6gpf Standard Madera.

[Drakee99]

Too bad about that 1.6 Madera. Those toilets have a colorless flush in my opinion. What kind of place is this anyways? Sounds like there was a party going on outside there!

[ILoveVintageToilets]

The location is in a very old theater in the middle of downtown Frederick, Maryland.  The new Madera are my least favorite toilet of all time!

[Drakee99]

Amen to that! I can speak for myself and CRANEPLUMBING when I say that the new A-S Madera is just crap.

[meeloothekid]

This should be put in a museum

[ILoveVintageToilets]

Yeah, but now people can actually still use it and see it in action!

[iamafumbler]

is that toilet in your apt? I wish i had one of those! I have a crappy eljer patriot in my apt. that clogs very easily and takes 3-4 flushes to get the job done. Where do you live? Out here in california, you cant find apartment complexes with flushometer toilets. It seems to be way more common in big eastern cities like Chicago, New York, ect. Very nice throne!

[Landaux]

Funny how in thoes years theres no blow-hole on top of the trapway like in 1930s to 1960s models. My grandma had a 1936 Kohler "SIBLEY" same bowl design as that, but had a blow-hole...but my great aunt that lived a block further down whos house MAY have been a little older, didnt, it looked identacle but no blow-hole, the water outlet spout was up toward the top of the bowl, like this.

[ILoveVintageToilets]

Do you think you could capture a video of either of these toilets?

[Landaux]

Im sorry, no can do, but I wouldnt waist anytime to do so, but both my aunt and grandma are deceased and have been for over 10 years, and have new occupants in the homes since then. Again, I will be on the search around here in the meantime. :)

[CRANEPlumbing]

cool toilet but i dont like the flush

[ILoveVintageToilets]

What is it about the flush that you don't like?

[CRANEPlumbing]

not much of a flush, seems like a huge jet of water and nothing else lol

[ClassicTVMan81]

After all, this toilet is 83 years old. Siphon jet action didn't really come into being until about 1930.

[Drakee99]

wow! good find! 5*!!

[Wolfi561987]

fantastic a nice old toilet with a nice front of the bowl. I faved!

[TheKarleyMeza]

Whoa! Thats Very Old!!!

[sanders8323]

Very nice!

[mrKRW]

Excellent find! This model must've been one of the earliest major pressurized toilets. Also possibly the Madera's distant ancestor/predecessor.

[ILoveVintageToilets]

Yes, I really love these reverse trap toilets. They are so very rare and hard to find. I believe the Standard Ejecto was one of their earliest toilets. The Standard Modernus came a few years later. Drakee99 has an excellent video of a Modernus.

[Drakee99]

The Modernus should be brought back! It has always been a good performer.

[ClassicTVMan81]

Good job! Quite an old find!
