Vintage revolving concealed toilet paper holder — with ash tray inside!

Pam Kueber - May 21, 2018, Updated: August 8, 2021

New Old Stock revolving, concealed toilet paper holder — with Ferris wheel design ashtray inside — found at the late great World of Tile liquidation sale. Need I say more: Fantastic! My friend Ellen, a WOT co-conspirator, really wanted it for a new bathroom she’s working on. So, we bartered — I got a big tile mural of fishes. Photo closed — ready for some action:

Photo open — would you ever want to leave the room?:

Imagine this one — WITH ASH TRAY. I value it at: priceless, including because of its World of Tile and Retro Renovation provenance, of course!
