Default Tire pump hose end

I recently bought a hand operated tire pump at a garage sale as part of my "tool kit" for my 1939 Ford. The main pump and shaft are in good condition, but the hose rotted and fell off years ago, taking with it the screw on end that goes to the tire valve stem. I have done a google search and checked out bicycle shops and they have nothing that resembles the old style screw on ends. Does any one have any ideas where I can find such an obscure item?

Those Model A type were used by Ford through '34, I think. They lack the center pin to depress the center of the Schrader fitting, and I thik actually blew through and used the pin as the check valve. A small cotter pin can be inserted into the hose end to get them to depress the Schrader.
The type used on later Ford pumps, and the most practical by far, have the center pin. They are cataloged by one of the major brass fitting suppliers, can't remember which, but I was never able to find a dealer that could actually obtain any!

I eventually stocked up at this Canadian dealer:

They confirmed that they got them from current stock at a USA manufacturer! Presumably readily available at a wholesale level...
I bought a bunch of each size from them, as I'm always fiddling with elderly pumps and I never did locate any other supplier.
