Vintage style casting guides

I'm getting a list together to make up a classic 1960's style Bass baitcaster. Handle and blank i'm fine with but having trouble finding some guides with the correct look. Any ideas? I have been looking at some of the fly rod strippers but size 8 is as small as they go. I was hoping to go to a 6 .

My standard guides in those days for bass casting rods were the standard chrome plated "spinning" style starting around size 16 and going to about sze 8. They happened to be Mildrum and varmac, but I don't think those are around any more. I'm sure you could find a picture on the web though, and then match it to a current brand.
