I also got a super close up of the V75 privy itself, so show that there actually is a texture inside. Finally an image of the actual reflecting pool at the WW2 Memorial, which is the outline used for the V75 privy mark, just in case you're unfamiliar with that. In the first 2 pictures, the dark circle is the spacer I used (came with the scope) that shows the perspective of the sizing. Camera zoom was the same setting, so this gives a good easy comparison of the size of the 2 privies. Edited by Gilly 08/16/2025 8:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Gilly Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 08/17/2025 08:23 am No problem on sharing the image of the reflecting pool. It was originally called the Rainbow Pool, it existed before the WW2 Memorial. I think it's important as numismatist to know where these designs came from and why they were used. Here is basic info from Wikipedia, it had an interesting history: "The Rainbow Pool was a reflecting pool located on the National Mall in Washington D.C., USA. It was designed by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted Jr.,[1] and was situated between the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool (to the west), and 17th Street NW (to the east). The pool was renamed the Rainbow Pool on October 15, 1924, after it was noticed that its 124 nozzles created a "perfect rainbow" when turned on." Report this Post to the Staff
