Does anyone happen to have a maroon "pull to start " backplate for an early 50s Westinghouse dryer? Mine keeps breaking. I figured I'd take a shot I the dark to see if someone had a spare. Thanks so much!

If not, anyone have a suggestion for a good glue?

glue the back...

if you glue the pieces together cut an old sheet of cotton and soak it in glue and apply to back of knob this will strengthen the entire piece and than file the top and repaint the dial cracks you can make this look like never broken and stronger than new…..be an artist and work with what you have ……good luck and show us the results….

So do the knobs. That photo is reversed.
