1949 Eljer Seafoam Green Vintage Toilet with Wood Seat

Description : A vintage Eljer one-piece toilet in original seafoam green porcelain with a matching period-style oak finish wood seat. Marked with a production date of September 16, 1949, this fixture reflects the streamlined postwar American bathroom aesthetic with angular tank detailing and a sculptural pedestal base. The glazed porcelain retains a glossy finish with light age wear and patina consistent with decades of use. A functional statement piece for mid-century restorations, retro interiors, or architectural salvage collections. The warm wood seat adds contrast to the pastel ceramic body, giving the fixture a classic residential look popular in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
