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.
