Is anyone able to identify the model of any of the toilets in this photo?
Possibly the original toilets from same 3 bathroom house constructed in 1994 in Massachusetts.
Removed and photo taken in 2014.

Believe it or not, these were involved in a crime being investigated.
Unfortunately, police do not have other photos on file.

Photo is on google drive link below

Author: Rgamalor (MA) @hj: Thanks. If indeed a distinctive characteristic of such a specific model is discernible from the photo, that’s interesting. The original 1993 plumbing permit when house was built is here [drive.google.com] Doubtful the 1993 plumber (since retired) has any records from a 1993 install, but interesting.

Author: Rgamalor (MA) The tip we are following is that the Selectman whose lawn the toilets were placed on (in the photo) may have staged the incident himself. With the help of his friends so he could report it and get public sympathy. Thanks for input from this thread. Edited 1 times.

Author: sum (FL) Wouldn't it be easier to dust for fingerprints on the toilets themselves?

Re: identify toilets from picture
Author: Rgamalor (MA) The toilets are long gone (the police told the DPW to dispose of them in 2014). Unfortunately no evidence other than a statement from the alleged target seems to have been collected at the time. The alleged target filed the police report but asked the police not to investigate. The alleged target then went straight to the local paper with his story.
