I need to replace cracked tiles on my California roof. I’ve tried to identify sources via Internet searching. I have not been able to locate a source. I’ve attached picture of back and front of one tile. These are concrete-like and have “Uni-Loc” inscription on the back. They are 9″ by 15″ in dimension.
I assume they are not manufactured anymore and would like to know how to source about 100 of these. I am located in Bay Area.

Talk to roofing contractors, and maybe salvage yards like Urban Ore in Berkeley. He who does the most research eventually wins.
I had to replace a few mission tiles for a client. I went to one of the bigger roofers in town, and they had a graveyard in back where they stored (or dumped) all the leftovers from previous jobs. It was actually reasonably neat, in stacks that you could walk around. I think they charged $2 a tile.

California Shake & Shingle in Concord carries tiles like that - worth a visit.
