Hood Ornament Attachment Cup Washers

Might someone know of a source for the small cup washers used on the inside of the grille to attach the hood ornament in place?  They are not Hudson-specific, but were used on a lot of different cars in the '30s, and came in various sizes. I'm looking for a few of the smaller ones, about 9/16 diameter across the bottom, with a hole for a #10 screw, but not sure that the specific size is that important.  I've not seen a modern replacement, but may not have been looking in the right place.

    check plumbing supply, they have similar ones that might work.
