I have a 1959 Compact exactly like this in my collection in a mauve color. I got it 10-15 years ago when vintage toilets in nice shape were still easy to find. I love the "thunk" sound of the original flush valve. Lets you know you're about to see greatness.
An AMAZING toilet this Standard Compact - the performance is epic, although it got lucky taking the massive dishtowel but very few toilets would be able to take such a large item but taking it through perfectly once once is good enough! Flushes great even with a clogged siphon jet. Bowl clearance is perfect but as with the Standard Cadet the bowl rinse is not quite perfect (that front rim jet(s) issue). This toilet gets a 9.5/10 which is as near to perfect as it is going to get ⭐
I am now the owner of this toilet

Why is the trap way squished looking. Usually Compacts have a more elongated looking trap way
Performs helluva lot better than the original elongated Cadet!
Owen, that's an great performer! A+ for sure. I bet it would do even better after you restore it.
This toilet is pretty nice, but honestly the Comptons reign supreme over these. Still an epic find tho.
Did you get a new washcloth??
Great performance
