I'll second Lonn Taylor's recommendation... Ogle is a great resource, as
is contacting Thomas Crapper Ltd directly [[log in to unmask]], and,
of course, the Sears Catalogs from the early years. Simon Kirby of
Thomas Crapper also recommended DEA Bathroom Machineries as a good
resource for extra bits/parts needed www.deabath.com They were very
helpful.

I am restoring a 1906 bathroom in Texas.

Good luck,
Ware

Not a website, but Maureen Ogle's _All the Modern Conveniences: American

Household Plumbing, 1840-1890_ (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University
Press, 
1996) is a terrific scholarly history and was a great help to me in
doing a 
furnishing plan for a c. 1900 bathroom for the Magoffin Home Historic
State 
Site in El Paso.
