Default Knob for Hallicrafter S-53?

With many thanks again to those on rec.antiques ...... who previously
identified possible sources.
But nothing yet!
So; still seeking one used knob for the Vol, RF gain or Bandswitch position
of a circa 1955 Hallicrafter S-53A.
Knob is about one inch diameter and is serrated/ridged.
The smaller knobs on this model do 'not have' round aluminum inserts or the
silver inner rings of some Hallicrafter style knobs.
I also have at least one of the slightly larger Hallicrafter style
'tuning/bandspread' knob; approx 1.5 inches diameter and which 'does have'
the inner silver ring. Someone mentioned KF6AR in 2004 was seeking such a
knob?
Also mentioned was that it may be possible to get a knob (or set of knobs)
'made', but they will 'look' different?
Best regards for the New Year.

Transatlantic wireless telegraph signal at St. John's, Newfoundland (VO1xx
country! Now part of Canada).
