View Full Version : Crane fixtures

My home was built in 1964. Every bathroom fixture in the house (tubs, showers, sinks, toilets) are Crane, which went out of business in 1970.

Long story short: I need replacement parts. Right now, I'm looking for an eggshell blue toilet seat, and a new faucet with clear glass handles and slanted spout. I'm having trouble finding anything like that.

Any suggestions are really appreciated.

Thankyou.

You probably won't find the toilet seat at retail. It would be possible to obtain one at an antique store or retro yard somewhere. As far as the faucet, wouldn't it be possible to go ahead and upgrade to a more modern one, washerless, etc.?

Yes on the upgrade question. However, I really like the one I have, and it's kind of consistent with the crane theme (they're really nice, just getting a little old), and they fit really strangely on the sink, like on a slant. I don't know if I'll find something else that works the same way.
