Default wiper suggestions

What is the "correct" windshield wiper to put into a 1929 Phaeton?

I have a non-functioning Electric Cleaner EA Laboratories Inc wiper (shown here) and want to replace it with a functional one. Suggestions?

Thanks,
Seth

Rain-X.

Leave the non-working wiper motor and blade in place for looks.

Apply 2 coats of Rain-X to the windshield periodically and the rain will just run right off the glass. You can see out of the entire windshield this way, not just a small arc that the wiper sweeps.
