My Toning Chamber

In reading the AT/NT threads, I have to say that most of the coins shown looked to be artificially toned. All those wild and crazy colors just look too insane to be real.
I've previously posted about a lot of coins that I purchased without looking at them. That turned out to be a real good deal, as there were 4 UNC 1882 O/S in the display case, one even made PCGS MS63. It later sold for 10% under bid.
Anyways, here's the display case.
The 25 coins sat in 25 slight indentations of a cardboard material covered with felt/velvet like cloth. This thing was supported in the back with a piece of plywood, and pressed against the surface of the glass.
Here's a closeup.
Over 30+ years, the plywood/cardboard/velvet oozed chemicals to slowly tone the coin on one side. On some coins, the toning look like a blob of blah. On some others, they look really nice. Here's some of the nicer one's, including some I've previously posted.
Perhaps I should put some more blast white Morgans back into the case and "harvest" them in another 30 years.
By that time, toning would be out of fashion again.

For extra points, identify the toilet. No cheating!
Edited to change "name the toilet" to "identify the toilet". I didn't want anyone naming the toilet "Russ", or anything like that...

I have the dansco State quater MS+proof vol. 1 album (full) and already I'm starting to see a ever so slight touch of toning.
Thanks

"Escape From Alcatraz"? It looks like a crapper from a jail cell I have seen on TV.
Nope. It's not from a jail. Hint: it's in Scotland.
Edited to say: Poor DaveWang, I can't believe we did this to his thread!
