Missing Peephole

I'm looking for a peephole surround (or ornament, as they're sometimes called) for my front door. The glass and metal peephole tube are there, but some nogoodnik removed the exteriod decorative surround from the peephole.
These are fine, but not particularly "period" looking:

I checked on Ebay and came up with nothing. Any ideas of where to find them? Or maybe salvage yards that have very small pieces like this available? Maybe I'm being too finicky... Thanks in advance.

No you're not being too finicky. You look at your front door every day.

How about E.R. Butler?

Aside from the second mortgage you'll need when the bill comes, these guys are great for period door hardware. I love drooling over their nice drawings.
