Hitler potty among Thomas Crapper loos up for sale

Shannen Headley
BBC News, West Midlands

A collection of old Thomas Crapper loos is up for sale, and among the items from the famous bathroom brand is a potty with Adolf Hitler's face on the bottom.
Toilets, taps, basins and baths make up the Crapper cluster, with the owner hoping someone will be "en suite" enough to buy it as a job lot, lest the lovely lavs be split up.
Simon Kirby, former boss at Warwickshire-based Thomas Crapper & Co, is selling hundreds of the antique items eight years after leaving the firm.

The collection, which formed the basis of a private museum at the company, took almost 40 years to assemble and can be yours for about £300,000, if you're feeling flush.
