Antique "Standard" Monaco "Orchid of Vincennes" Purple Two-Piece Toilet
This is an Antique Item
This is an American Standard "Monaco" wall mounted tank, toilet and pipe cover, circa 1929 with Art Deco style and influence. This toilet is in the glorious (American) Standard "Orchid of Vincennes" lavender/purple color and in excellent overall condition.
This set includes the bowl, the tank and lid, and the original vitreous china flush pipe housing (Patent #1669431) which has a patent date of May 15, 1928 on it, see photo. The American Standard company was formed in 1929 through the merger of the American Radiator Company and Standard Sanitary Manufacturing Company forming the American Radiator and Standard Sanitary Corporation. In 1950, the logo was changed to say American-Standard. In 1968, the hyphen was dropped from American Standard. The date stamped on the tank of this toilet is October 29, 1929, the day the stock market crashed.
Oversized items like this are not able to be shipped via USPS or regular UPS services. These items must be shipped via LTL Motor Freight. For that reason they must also be crated, so this item is subject to a crating fee plus motor freight charges which varies by destination. Crating charges start at $100, depending on the size of the item. Please contact us for these prices before purchasing as the shipping price calculated at checkout will not reflect crating charges and freight price calculated may vary from actual price due to crate size.
