Another thing to look into might be the tiny version used as the main tuning 
dial indicator marker on early HRO's.  Later, they went to a simple chrome 
plated diamond shaped marker, but the early ones were red, simialar to the 
larger National logo emblem.  Maybe an inquiry in the Antique Wireless 
Association bulletin might produce enough interest for a manufacturing run.  
There are many collectors of the pre WWII HRO's, and this little emblem is a 
common missing item.
