Sudden Valley Toilets

Another 1970s-era dies in Bellingham's Sudden Valley neighborhood! Black toilets never really caught on.

Black Toilet

New toilet

Old toilet in Bellingham, WA

Here's a toilet that has become super rare, mostly because of the price of water. Or to quote Lake Whatcom Water & Sewer: "It's not the water that's expensive, it's the sewage charges you get when you use the water."

This toilet is in a house that's has a flat rate for usage because it doesn't have a water meter yet. By 2014, it will have a meter and you can bet this old toilet will be replaced real quick.

Anyway, this American Standard toilet was manufactured on January 31, 1935, as stamped in the lid. It's 78 1/2 years old.
