Dating from the late 1800’s, this cast iron toilet paper holder features advertising from “The Equity A. P. W. Paper Co.” in Albany New York. It has a locking swing arm on the left side of the holder that unlocks by pushing the button on the outside of the holder. The cast iron has been painted silver over the years, and has some discoloration on the back and sides. It is stamped “Pat. September 26, 1893” on the back of the holder. It also has a cursive D with the number 18 below it on the back also. Very cool addition to your guest bathroom that will peak their interest!
