Help locating source for guides

I am trying to locate a source for a couple of small wireframe guides on a bamboo fly rod that has been brought to my shop for repair.
The rod is a Hardy "Neo-Cane", built in the mid to late 1960's. The outside diameter of th ring is ~6mm or 7/32, so it is very small.

I would appreciate help identifying the guide and locating a source for a couple.

Here is a pic of one of the guides on the rod:

Thanks, Bill, for the quick response. The only thing about the guides on this rod is how small they are...they are much smaller than a size 8 boat guide.
Any thoughts on who might carry these, as I don't know if they are even made this small any longer.

Great source, Bill, and again, thank you.

The only thing about those guides is that they are stainless steel.
I'm not positive what these ones are made of but I'm pretty sure it isn't stainless.

Hello Walt

Are they chrome over brass or nickle or something else.
I think I might have some chrome over brass but would have to check.

How many do you need?

Walt.
I think the guide is chromed stainless. You could probably find this if you knew your way around the UK! but in the US I would not know. I would think your best bet is probably to contact Hopkins and Holloway or even Hardy's in UK, they may be able to advise you.

Earl,
You are probably correct since the rod is a Hardy.
I will check with them...

Thanks,
