Where could I get some? Or should I just get any two of appropriate size and paint them brown?

Did you find the escutcheon?!!

I probably have a few... I will look but how big? How big is the hole in the escutcheon and is it a recessed screw?

Small screws, the thread would be same as any cath Philco escutcheon, the head is almost spherical, for flat screwdriver. Dark chocolate brown.

Ok, I checked my stash and I have these...

I feel like they will be too small but they fit all the other escutcheons perfectly
They will be in the mail Monday

Thanks Kirk, these will likely do fine. I will slather a copious amount of brown shoe polish I bought for shining brown backelite on top to make it look shiny brown Icon_smile

Oh I'll just let them rust, that will do the job of toning.
