That's a Canadian distributor....I'll be darned! I didn't know Blake 
toilets--except for the Lavac, which is also sold in the US--were sold 
anywhere on this side of "the pond."

Interesting that they call it the "Lavac Baby Blake," 'cuz Blake does 
own Lavac (they bought it in 1969)...but the Lavac toilet is a totally 
different type of toilet, different brand, and in a different (cheaper) 
class altogether from Blake toilets.

Also interesting that they describe the Baby Blake as bronze...'cuz 
Blake, on the home page of their website 
http://www.blakes-lavac-taylors.co.uk/index.html says, "...the Baby 
Blake toilet, using aluminium castings instead of copper alloy to reduce 
the weight..."

Since NW Marine doesn't show any prices on their site, I suspect they're 
a wholesaler, not a retailer...'cuz I got the prices I just posted from 
UK retailers and ran 'em through an online currency converter arrive at 
the prices in USD.
