M & H BB felt buttons

Anybody know if a source is available for these older M & H BB buttons?  (see attached photo)  I am finishing up a BB and it uses this very effective style of buttons.  Seems to be hammer felt as a core and a very thin woven scarlet cloth pulled snugly over and glued to the hammer felt.  Don't have any idea how they accomplished that with no folds or seams in the scarlet felt - must've given it a thorough soaking in something.  It is amazing to me that they have been doing their job since 1926 with no apparent wear, other than to be too dingy now to use on a refinished BB.
   
  If anyone has any idea where to snag some of these (doubtful, I know), or have had success duplicating them, I would be grateful to know about it.  Otherwise, I'll likely be reaching for the rubber.  Inferior, but available.
