It’s been nearly 10 years since the pink Aerial Lift Bridge dollhouse toilet was first mentioned on Perfect Duluth Day — back when it was listed for sale on eBay. Since the reference to it was just a brief mention in a comment to the PDD Gift Guide 2012, perhaps it is time the Duluthy commode is revisited and given its own separate post, if for no other purpose than for speculating on its origin.

It seems the toilet was part of a set of dollhouse furniture made by Renwal toy company in the 1940s. Apparently someone Duluthified a particular toilet with a sticker or something. Either way, let it serve as a reminder that any toilet tank — white or pink, porcelain or plastic — is like an open piece of canvas awaiting fine art.
