The Columbian female urinal, circa 1950's
The Columbian Male counterpart.
I wanted to show you this Female/male pair of urinals produced by another company that is arguably equal to that of the Jones Company. The Columbian Enamel and Stamping Co., of Terre Haute, Indiana. Their overall quality is excellent. Beautifully designed although the handles, though well placed , are a bit small and harder for men with large fingers to manipulate. Their manufacturing process was quite beautiful and a distinctive characteristic of their design is the welded yoke at the base of the throat and the bottom plate is stamped with a raised oval giving the bottom addition strength and resilience. Their choice of colors were the classic black on white and the quality of the enameling is excellent. Both these pieces are in near mint condition and probably never used.
