Hey Ron,
It looks easy enough to replicate but of course you would need to repair it prior to making the mold. If someone here has one they are willing to part with for a while, I will make a copy of it. Not sure when I will have the time but I suppose I could try to do it during the night. As for the repair, With such a thin piece of metal, it will be hard to have a buildup thick enough on both sides to hold it without it being very visible. There are products for this like in this video:

Assuming it is not pot metal I would use the JB weld or even that "as seen on TV" putty.
Loctite 81512 2 Oz Cylinder Epoxy Repair Putty Stick
All in all with such a thin part you may just try the product above or what you have on hand with the ruler metal attached for double strength.
