Thomas Crapper bathroom museum items up for sale (UK) 23/Aug/2024

A collection of bathroom items which includes hundreds of Thomas Crapper loos is up for sale, and among the items is a potty with Adolf Hitler's face on the bottom. Toilets, taps, basins and baths make up the Crapper cluster, with the owner hoping someone will be "en suite" enough to buy it as a job lot, lest the lovely lavs be split up. Simon Kirby, former boss at Warwickshire-based Thomas Crapper & Co, is selling hundreds of the antique items eight years after leaving the firm. The collection, which formed the basis of a private museum at the company, took almost 40 years to assemble and can be yours for about £300,000, if you're feeling flush. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My favourite is the Hitler chamber pot. The Nazi leadership (with the exception of Herman Goering) could not take a joke and this was a joke and a two-fingered salute to Adolph at the same time, which he would have hated along with many Nazis. I even have a cutting I made from a newspaper I took some 40 or 45 years ago but this one is not digital and clear 😆 I would have used it as the thumbnail but I felt seeing a range of items on sale would be better... just! 😄 Internet: Why is a toilet called a crapper? The toilets displayed the company logo 'Thomas Crapper & Co Ltd'. The US soldiers stationed in England at the time started referring to the toilet as “the Crapper” and brought that slang term back with them to the United States. The slang word for toilet became more widely taken up and is still being used today. #thomascrapper #toiletsale #bathroomsale #bathroomhistory #crapper
