Mist Green/Turquoise Vintage Bathroom Suite Original 1941 Basin, Taps & Toilet - £500


Recommended Posts

Selling this bathroom suite which came from my gran's house in North Wales, it was removed when the house was refurbished a few years ago and has been kept in storage until now. 
 
It was made by 'Standard' in the 1940's, and the date 3/6/1941 is written on the back of the basin. There is also a letter 'R' and the word 'YORK'.
 
'Standard Made In England' is written on the inside of the cistern and there's also a number on the bottom on the inside of the cistern. The internal cistern pieces are believed to be original and made of ceramic.  
 
There's a hairline crack on the front left-hand side of the cistern next to the flush running from the top to the bottom - see photograph. I believe this could easily be repaired.
 
The basin comes complete with the original taps, faucet, fittings, and plug which is also thought to be original. As well as the original toilet seat, bracket and connecting pipe.
 
Apart from the crack and some corrosion on the taps, all parts are in good condition, particularly given it is a modern antique at 83 years old. 
 
Let me know if you would like to come take a look.
 
Any questions, please ask.

    • First of all, conversations with people who aren't Corbyn supporters are obviously going to tell you why those people didn't vote for him, aren't they? Second (and I don't know why I have to keep on saying this) the electoral system worked against him in terms of seats lost. If you look at the actual numbers of votes per party, yes Labour was behind, but not by as much as it appeared if just seats were counted. Thirdly, that poll was of "nearly 500" people who stopped voting Labour. That's not a very big sample, is it? Of those, 35% said it was because of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership (i.e. 65% had other reasons). Even upping the numbers to  500 people, 35% is 175. 10,269,051  people did actually vote Labour in that election. It's a long time since I used statistics for anything, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think anything you have said is "evidence"!
    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!
