Toilet???

[MasterPlumbersKeymaster]

I have a toilet made in 1954. I cannot find a manufacturer’s name on it. The overflow tube and the mount for the flapper are molded into the water tank. I must replace the flapper which has a 2 to 3″ wire attached to its center which
in turn is held in place above the water outlet. it raises straight up when the handle is operated for a flush. Finally, the flabber’s bottom half has a rather extended cone shape which fits into the water outlet. Have you seen one before?
Where can I find old parts for the 1950’s toilets?

Assuming the brass ball guide is not worn, you just need a common lower lift wire and a 2 5/8″ tank ball, (that is the most common size if the measurement is not indicated on the box).
