I do not believe that dial has been reproduced. The two main reproduction dial makers in the US are RadioDaze and Mark Oppat's Old Radio Parts. Neither has your dial listed, however RadioDaze does make custom dials and you may be able to have them make a dial by sending them your dial or perhaps a high resolution image of it. You would need to contact them to see whether they will do it and what the cost would be.

Radiodaze is about $40.00 plus shipping and takes 4-6 weeks...
They are doing one for me right now..

 Interesting, the cabinet for your set is very similar to my Canadian Philco model 3118B, as well as a British Philco (I can't remember the model) but it says that it was made in Philadelphia in the U.S. The dial is very similar in design to a  model 118/3118 dial except for the city names in the center, which probably explains why it has a model 16 style escutcheon since the opening is larger. Yes, I think that Radiodaze may be able to help, if they can figure out what used to be in the chipped and rubbed out section, that is unless you can find someone closer.

It's either this or the fat chance of finding one elsewhere.
Radio restoration is a slow process anyway and by the time he needs the dial it might very well be ready.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
