I was just about to purchase a white toilet to coordinate with my lovely lavender tub and sink, when I came across a vintage Rheem toilet on Craigslist about 3 weeks ago at a shop in Philadelphia. It had matching pieces, but we just needed the toilet. Shipping it here to Massachusetts was out of sight, so my dear husband drove down and picked it up. It is in perfect shape but without a seat. I was just able to find the color kit at Ace Hardware for 52.95. This will include shipping from the company. SO....I am a happy camper with my beautiful Rheem lavender toilet and soon to arrive matching seat. How crazy, huh? I'll send pictures after we have completed it! Here is the link to the what i bought and thestore in Philadelphia, which I think is a great resource for folks: http://restoreofphiladelphia.blogspot.com/2011/05/rheem-lavender-bath-set-1968.html Thanks!

Other than the little bit of corrosion on the hinges (which also are very unusual looking ) the seat is in perfect condition.
