Here I am posting some useful links to different websites with great toilet information and/or pictures and videos of older toilets.
www.urinal.net has a variety of urinals including women's urinals, pedestal urinals, and urinals from the very beginning of the 20th century. The pictures all include the place where the urinal was found. It's a great place to find obscure urinals. Unfortunately, no toilet pictures.
www.flickr.com/photos/americanvintagehome/sets/72157608091401798/ this is a user on flickr who has posted many different pictures from catalogs of vintage bathrooms that is worth looking at. Also www.flickr.com/groups/1091697@N23/ is a group of toilets called Vintage American Standard.
www.youtube.com/user/Drakee99 this youtube user has over 250 videos of older toilets on his page. There are many other youtube users also who have toilet videos on their pages and are a wealth of information about plumbing.
Please let me know if you know of any others.

American Standard Wall-Hung Toilets
In this post, I will share the difference between the three American Standard wall-hung toilet models. The three models are called the Glenco, the Afwall, and the Instanto. You can see examples of all three on my ILoveVintageToilets videos on youtube.
The Afwall is by far the most common. It has a square back and the flush swirls in a counterclockwise direction. The Afwall has been made since the 1950s and is still made today in a 1.6 gallon per flush model.
The Glenco is a toilet of long ago. It was introduced as American Standard's first wall hung toilet in the 1930s. American Standard retired this toilet in 1978 long before it could be made into a 1.6 gpf model. The Glenco has a bullet shape to it, instead of the square back that the Afwall has. The flush of the Glenco sucks down the water and does not swirl. These toilets were most common in the 1950s and 1960s.
The Instanto is a stadium style toilet with a blowout flush. The flush is similar to the Glenco, however it does not have the bullet shape. The trapway is bigger and it is generally a more industrial toilet. It is still made today but is very rare and reserved for Stadiums and other select buildings.
So there you go, the three American Standard wall hung models. Hopefully you will be able to tell the difference!

Welcome!
This blog is an addition to my youtube account ILoveVintageToilets. I created this blog because i have always been fascinated with antique plumbing, and I would like to share my thoughts with everyone. I have been uploading videos of toilets from the 1920s-1990s on youtube, but I have found that something is missing. I am not able to adequately share my information about these toilets!
At this blog, I will vent my frustrations about old toilets being replaced, I will share a wealth of information about the types of old toilets out there, and I will write about anything else plumbing related that comes to mind.
Hopefully I will get some guest bloggers and I really hope that this helps all of my youtube viewers learn more about me!
