sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21789 Posts	Posted 08/28/2012 06:00 am Fantastic piece of toiletry memoribilia. I just had to laugh! From a numismatic point of view, very interesting. Pity about the drill hole. What metal is it struck in? Seems to be silver plated brass. Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9902 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 02:38 am Could this be a recent novelty item? Although the word toilet did not attain its present meaning until a hundred years ago the word stool has been used as a euphemism for bowel movement since the 18th century. Don't know what metal it is struck in,it's 40mm and unusually light.(don't have a working scale) "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 10/29/2012 7:19 pm I'm with you on this one. The detail on the toilet looks suspicious and the stool & toilet part maybe tongue & cheek. You'd have to research the company and see if it actually existed. Back in the early ebay days I had purchased a box of a prison electric chair watch fobs. I bought one from the dealer and ended up buying a load. Somebody was stamping these out and they looked very good. Report this Post to the Staff
mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 10/29/2012 7:24 pm However, the more I look at the reverse, the more I like the token. I guess back in the day before indoor plumbing you had to go somewhere and leaving the building may have not been an option or productive. So you'd rent toilets. Sounds about right. The company probably came and cleaned them too. Report this Post to the Staff
