1 Pair Surplus Vintage NOS Almond Porcelain Towel Bar Posts
These
NOS towel bar holders are of indeterminate age, although they are the
older, solid porcelain type and not the cheaper, hollow, modern ceramic
ones you see at BigBox. We color-matched them to Plumbing Supply's
color chip #146, Almond, as shown. Each piece mounts into a 1 1/2
by 4 hollow between your tile, and covers a 2 by 4 1/2 inch section of
wall.
We always post the
entire quantity we have available alongside any go-withs. We do not have the actual towel bars.
Please note we charge a 20% restocking fee on our vintage
tile.
Ebay’s no-fault return policy allows
you to return your purchase for any reason so we want you to be happy with
every single tile you receive.
It is
time and labor-intensive to inventory and package these materials, and damage
from unnecessary handling takes a toll.
Please make sure this is the right tile for you by first
buying Plumbing Supply’s color chip that we have matched to it.
Photos are not adequate to match colors
because of the wide variation in lighting, photography, and monitor settings. We often get long-forgotten
surplus tile from basements, salvaged tile from demolished baths, and
antique specialty tile of all kinds. Condition varies widely, and we
are a small company without the resources to fully clean and photograph
every individual tile. We triage our tile so that you do not receive
any pieces with chips, cuts, or cracks on the visible face. Salvaged
tile will often have little chips or damage on the sides or back that
will be hidden by your grout. Even surplus NOS tile will often have
cobwebs or minor scratches on the face just from being stacked for years alongside
other tile. We cannot guarantee our tile to be pristine; often it is
more than 100 years old and has the patina and character to prove it! Tile
is fired to over 1,500 degrees F when it is made, so it can
handle quite a bit of cleaning. Older floor and wall tile was usually
set in mortar, which can be gently chipped off and cleaned with a razor
or diluted muriatic acid. Mid-century wall tile is usually set with mastic
or other adhesives which are usually water soluble. Soak your salvaged
tile in water with TSP or other detergent, even outside to warm in the
sun for a couple days, and spray it off with a nozzle on your garden
house. Any remaining adhesive, paint, or caulk usually comes off easily
with a fingernail or razor knife. We will tightly wrap and pad
your tile. Ebay’s shipping calculator does not factor in the size
of box needed for orders of multiple square feet. We do not have the
staff to pre-pack and provide quotes for orders over 1 square foot. We
will use flat rate boxes whenever possible and can refund any
shipping overpayment you make via their calculator. YOU are doing
the heavy lifting of re-use. We’re just here to help! Please visit our
store in MD just outside of DC for all your vintage bath needs, from
fab colorful sinks and toilets to chrome legs and lighting. Location M200
