Restoring 1953 Mercury Medallion Assembly (front door trim panel)

[Merc Cruzer]

I am looking to restore a 1953 Mercury Medallion Assembly (front door trim panel). The part number is BG 7321025-A. They were used from 53'-54'. This covered the hole for the window crank, on cars that had power windows.

I have been told that horn buttons can be restored, and thought that this might be the way to go. The issue here is that horn buttons are open from the back, where as this has a rolled metal plate over it. Has anyone had any luck with this approach?

I was hoping to find a NOS one, but since this is somewhat of a rare option, that doesn't seem viable. For some reason they only were used on the drivers side of the car.

I have tried: e-bay, Green Sales, Rear counter and the web with no luck so far.

The plastic is not cracked, that is just the paint on the back side coming off.
