Default sparkplug wire caps

Does anyone recognize these sparkplug wire ends? There are 4 on my 1938 flathead and I'd like to fine 4 more.

The curved part is bakelite and the other is soft rubber. Does anyone sell these? Thanks.

I never have seen that type before. It will be interesting where this thread ends up.

Made by Sealtight Corp. Cedar Rapids Iowa. I have two sets of straight connectors for the distributor cap , but none for spark plug. I would like to get a set of eight straight ends for spark plugs.

I have these on my 36. They came with the car as a basket case. I thought they looked good so I used them. I may have a few extras. I also have the original box that they came in. I believe they were some after market part.
