J.D. Salinger’s Porcelein “Throne” For Sale
August 18, 2010
If we didn’t already have a toilet at the office, we might have all pitched in to buy J.D. Salinger’s “Throne.”
The description reads: “Here’s an item you won’t come across everyday! This is the toilet that was personally owned AND used by J.D. Salinger for many years! It sat in his home in Cornish, New Hampshire, and was installed in the ‘new wing’ of his house. When he died, his wife inherited all of his manuscripts with plans to eventually release some of them! Who knows how many of these stories were thought up and written while Salinger sat on this throne!”
But, we’re not sure $1 million is a fair price. What do you think?
Umm, are you the folks who recently bought Lennon’s throne (just under $15,000 at auction)? Did Lennon just write songs on his, or did he actually sing them? His toilet had to be worth more than Salinger’s IMHO! Just think about how much good bathroom humor could be thought up on such a throne…
