I had a problem like that when my favorite Pyrex baking dish (just the right size for enchiladas) exploded when I put it in the sink. I couldn’t find one anywhere and had to start a campaign to get them to make them again. At least they did and I can cook essentials again.
I don’t know of anything in the world you can’t find on eBay! And if they don’t have it right now, then keep checking . . . because it’s bound to show up there eventually!!!!!
My Mom and I went into an antique shop once and found a nut grinder exactly like the one we were still using. And, ours had a lot more teeth. I still have that grinder (although I use a different one with a larger capacity).
eBay is the best. Like with a set of mixing bowls, if you break one, the set is ruined. No problem finding one on eBay. And in the old days if you broke a cup or salad plate, your dinnerware was just short forever. No more. I had a ton of fun selling my mom’s old kitchen stuff until eBay and PayPal and postal fees started making it unprofitable. I still buy there, though. Say you have a favorite shirt and your chances of finding another are next to nil. You’d have to burn gallons of gas just driving around trying to find one. A few key strokes and you’ve got another identical shirt for a spare. Love it!

Broke my antique dentures one time. They couldn’t help me either.

Have a friend look on eBay — it’s what saved my pitiful arse when a set of of candlesticks bit the dust after a dinner-party

The old stuff is better and safer! Corning wear made in the USA does not explode in the oven like the chinese junk.

eBay replaced my mixer’s beater when my daughter broke them. The mixer is about 60 years old, and was my mom’s. Still works better than a new one.
