This one is an example photo since the one I have is broken. However, I do know that the 1931 Philco the speaker came from was original, and had this type of spider.

What I've done so far is put a small ruler next to the spider, taken a photo and imported that into Adobe Illustrator as a reference. I then traced the edges of the spider and used the programs rulers to resize the image until the photo inch marks lined up with the programs ruler inch marks. Then I printed that out, pasted it to a business card, carefully cut out the spider outline and glued the resulting cardboard support to the original broken spider. I'll see if that is strong enough to hold up under use.
