This is a Milodon injector bell off a set of injectors used on the club car of the Car club my father and uncle belonged to here in so California in the mid sixties. I had these on a motor for a project in my garagae when it burned down along with my house. I was able to find and salvage 3 of the four and am now ready to start again. These have a lot of sentimental value to me and I would like to get them back to a complete unit. I have looked for quite a while for one of these and have had no luck. I thought maybe someone here could be of help,thanks.
I'd be tempted to try a lost wax casting. That would copy every small detail like the letters, but the draw back of casting anything off of an original, is that you'd lose X-number of thousanths for every inch of length. There are specs somewhere on here on how to tell the shrinkage. A pro casting place like O'brein Truckers might not be able to do it legally because of the Milodon name, if it's still protected by copyrights.

There is no worry about copy right infringment as long as the part is used for a restoration and not product for market sale. Worst case would be a ceist and desist order from an attorny telling you to stop.
