A Monday reader FAQ:

I’ve been using Google to search for a replacement tank for my 1952 Crane pink toilet. I stumbled upon this site and was wondering where are the places I should be entering my plea? Do you have any suggestions for me?

Thanks, Jane

Jane: This is likely a needle-in-the haystack search – to get the exact brand, year, color. Here are a few sources:

• DEAbath.com. On Crane especially.
• HistoricHouseParts.com
• This place in New Jersey — There appear to be pink new-old-stock Crane toilets here (photo above)!
• And salvage yards and craigslist where you live.

Readers – Please contribute your thoughts! And Jane, let us know how it turns out.
