Eight New Old Stock Kohler bath tubs — some still their crates — up for grabs on craiglist. (update: link long gone.) I’m thinking — 1970s-ish models — because the range of colors — from Avocado and Harvest Gold to Pink Champagne — rare!, Fresh Green, Peachblow and that very common Suez Tan. Thanks to Ross for this TGIF tip!

Above: A Seaforth 5′ tub in Fresh Green (I think). I also think I may have two sinks to match this!
But wait: Another green. and indeed, the seller tells me there are two different greens plus the avocado. But: The Kohler color timeline does not show such a variety of greens from the 60s-80s era. Hmmmm.
Thanks also to the seller for permission to post all the back to the future photos. The seller tells me:
We are an auction company. We sold out a local store that had been in business since the 60s … These were part of his stock.
Seems like there was a bidder, but then it didn’t work out.
I believe the tub in the foreground is Pink Champagne (lighting makes it look more lilac than pink), while the one at the far right is Peachblow.
Above: The Kohler Dynametric tub has been in the line a long, long time. I have one in my bathroom — installed 2003!
The stash is down in Arkansas. (update: link long gone.)
