Hmmm. It's interesting to me that your little toilet set
doesn't have an earphone jack. Most small portables had them; why your novelty radio, and maybe most other novelty sets, were not equipped with such a jack is a mystery to me. After all, how much more would it have added to the price to put a 0.25-inch phone jack in the speaker circuit?
Now my imagination is running wild. I wonder if anyone ever thought of putting a full-size radio in an actual toilet, using the bowl as the baffle/enclosure for a 10-12" or larger speaker, and the chassis in the toilet tank. The flush lever could be the power switch. Don't know where the tuning/volume controls would go, though. This could be the be-all and end-all of novelty radios, although I seriously doubt if anyone would want to put one in their living room.
If it were line-operated I don't think it would be welcome in a bathroom either.
Don't get me started on what might happen if someone mistook a toilet-mounted radio for a real toilet.
