There is nothing that makes a true retro renovator happier, than finding the perfect toilet.
I have a 50s house, so I must have a 2-piecer. And today, there is nothing new that really fits that old groove so my recommendation is basically, something innocuous.
However, if you have 60s home with a more defined modern style, you can go with a 1-piece elongated toilet like this Champion Elongated from American Standard. I particularly would like to see this suite — including the toilet, tub and sink — in gray. Or: Match it to the sinks in today’s ebay pick.
And remember: Painted wood seat, chrome attachment hardware.

Anyone have any idea what the most popular kitchen paint color was in 1964 for a tri-level home in the delaware area?
Pam Kueber says
We have a lot of research on paint colors here https://retrorenovation.com/category/period-accents/paint-colors/
My go-to palette: The Sherwin Williams Suburban Modern – again, lot of stories in the subcategory.

We just removed a rheem toilet with the date of June 26, 1964. It works great; however; we needed to replace it for a higher style. It is lavender.
