This is a 19 year old Contractor Grade Universal Rundle 1.5 toilet. There are some poorly printed numbers inside (1895 02{1}?). The tank cracked and the owner is looking to replace it if it is less expensive than replacing the entire toilet. ($90 for a new toilet)
I have not been able to locate a source for the tank in Maryland.
I know epoxy will work but it will not look good at all. The trick is to dry and heat the tank before applying the epoxy. The epoxy will soak into the crack and the tank will last for years. However, I have never done it on a tank as badly cracked as this one is (one end of the tank is cracked from the top most of the way down at both corners) or where the crack was visible.
