That's a good-looking fix. A dab of paint and no one will know. Did you smooth off the old edges to get a good bond? I'm wondering what the best trick is.

As VintageHO pointed out, it's hard to find. I've been after one of these for years and haven't been able to get my hands on one in the condition I would like. I've seen a few in mint condition on eBay but they've always gone too high for me. Nice find, you did well.
