My umm, "Strangest" Find Ever.....value?

I'm not sure why, but I simply couldn't resist buying this delightful 3-piece chamber pot set today. I've seen my share of slop pits, but never one done in this design.....and oh how beautiful it is.

I didn't have any info on the age. The guy at the auction said it was "a nice old piece"....but you know how that goes. Thx for the info.

I'll bet money there's collectors of those out there. It's the prettiest poop pot I've ever seen.

Beats heading to the outhouse in the middle of winter! The good old days!

I actually lived in a house (shack) with no electric or running water for close to a year when I was in my 20's with a couple friends. It was so far back in the holler that you had to pipe the sunshine in, lol. Bathing in the pond out back, hauling water from a well 200 yards uphill, using a generator for a couple hours of electricity when we had money for fuel. It was great. Living wild, young and free. Hard times, but happy times. Those were the days.

My umm, "$HITTIE$T" Find Ever.....value?

My husband was kind of skeaved out by it. "OMG, I hope this was cleaned". Me - "umm, it's got to be well over 100 years old....I'm sure it's fine!" I quickly shared a story of using an old metal "Kool aid" can when my parents rented. We had one bathroom....and when dad was in the pot, well, you just didn't interrupt.

Ahhh, reminiscing. I've hunted and fished with my dad since I can remember. Trust me when I say, the last thing u want to be doing when there is snow on the ground is stripping down to nothing. Talk about a wake up call.

I know. I had purchased a blue enamel granite ware piece a while back for $8. It just can't hold a candle to this piece.

Almost makes me wonder if the design was applied years later.

I listed it with a $70-ish starting bid and calculated shipping. Hopefully that won't be too much.

I saw an episode of Antiques Roadshow recently that had a sterling silver chamber pot that she used as a punch bowl, lol.

I guess the part with the holes is a "strainer"

The auctioneer called it a "splash guard".

LOL I believe I would have invented a sloped pipe to the outside at least
