Looking For Moulding Source

I’m skim coatinga few room in my 1920’s apartment. I’ve stripped 80 yrs of paint off of some baseboard and picture rail molding….savage work.
Some wall panel molding I’ve chosen to remove permanently.
Other panel molding, I’ve semi-striped…it’s just too much effort. I’d like to just remove it from the wall and proceed with the skim coat, then replace it with new molding.

Here’s a few pics of the moulding’s profile, it measures 1-1/4” wide by 1/4”or 5/16” thick.:

Does anyone know of a source for molding with a matching profile, or a rough approximation of this profile, for cheap? I’m NOT looking for anything clotted with numerous layers of paint I’d have to strip. It can be new or used, once installed it will be painted, NOT stained, so surface appearance doesn’t need to be pristine as long as there is not thick paint on it obscuring the detail and that it isn’t scratched or gouged to hell. I do not own the apartment, so price is important.

I’m looking for anywhere from 30’ to a few hundred feet.

Thanks for any leads.
