Help Finding Bronze Blocks

[bdpvt]

I am just about ready to set sail on my newly restored OT Yankee sailing canoe. So far I have managed to assemble the sail rig with original OT bits and pieces and love the authentic look. The only things missing are some traditional looking bronze blocks for the mainsheet and rudder rope. I have searched high and low without success. I know it's a small detail and in the meantime I plan to use some modern ss parts...ugh. Does anyone have a source for bronze blocks?

The ones from http://store.hamiltonmarine.com/browse.cfm/pulley-single-fast-eye-brz-f-.25-rope-126240-/4,7400.html and http://store.hamiltonmarine.com/bro...-fast-eye-brz-f-5-16-rope-126242-/4,7402.html have worked well for me. There are also usually some on eBay as shown at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/330388821730 for example.
