Default 32 repro window cranks

In my car I try the best to keep most parts old and pre 1950.
It's just the way I like it.
But it's impossible has it all vintage as tires, battery, exhaust, wires, glass, interiour and gaskets and piston rings and maybe pistons, some bolts and nuts etc etc.
I guess all this things can be possible to find vintage, but somewhere a line need be take.
On outside door handles I found std Henry and got help fix them, superworks from a Fordbarner.
But on the inner ones I has a struggle.
First I need locate what is Ford 32 5W look like, and some said 33/34 was 32.. etc, but most is cracked and its is hard to find and can be expensive.
One try sell me got very upset and mean do its matter on a Hot Rod ?
Well it's not about that but do I like 32 I like that and not 34.
New is cheap, but I really try stay away from Taiwan stuff.

I got help find a ( maybe std NOS 32 inside door handles = if lucky ) but indication was 'it could be', but when I got them it shore is repro, maybe older repro.
Indication was nice cast and tan was yellow and had rubbers inside ( as new Taiwan should not has, or ? )
They was nice and after a while I realised - Ok I use them.
Idea was to find 32 std window cranks.
I got some to look at but no one was Ford 32 but equal, but ball was loose and most is cracked in the square.
It's not fun to get parts after a long ride and nickel plate them, and then open door or roll window and one has the handle in the hand or floor.

So idea now is to get repros.
The chance find older USA made might not be big.
Idea is nickel them.

-But maybe all get them from the same factory, or is some brand better, but I guess after a while the tool get ugly and handle get ugly.
Ideas on this ?
