[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 1677560, member: 5066"]Yeah, I don't doubt it, "modern" plumbing was born in the 1930s when they finally figured out how to vent plumbing fixtures. So, even though plumbers/plumbing has been around for thousands of years, modern plumbing is not even "antique". By 1940, half the houses in USA lacked any kind of modern plumbing, piped water, bath/shower, flush water closets. The reason i guessed 1900 on your potty chair, the restored Ebay example posted above is oak which i suspect yours is under that paint and oak didn't really take off here furniture wise until that time period.
