Reproducing missing knobs and channel indicator escutcheon for a Meck TV?

Hello everyone, last night at work I got to thinking, I wonder how hard it would be to 3D Print replacement knobs for my 1950 Meck "Philharmonic" TV to replace the missing channel selector knob and volume control/power switch knob on my TV?

I was thinking that if someone on here had access to the original knobs for this TV or pictures even of the original knobs for this TV maybe someone could 3D print out of brown plastic some replica knobs for my TV, and then fabricate out of sheet brass the brass inserts for the knobs.

As for the Escutcheon, I know some people on another forum that deals with antique fans that reproduce the metal ID badges for antique fans out of metal and does it at a reasonable cost, and I was thinking that maybe if someone had a good picture of what the original channel indicator escutcheon for my TV is supposed to look like maybe I could have that person that I know on the other forum see if they could reproduce the original channel indicator escutcheon for my TV.

If anyone has pictures or access to the aforementioned parts that they could send me I would really appreciated it so I could check into getting those parts reproduced for my TV, seeing as I'm more than likely not going to ever find those parts NOS anywhere anytime soon, because of how rare this my TV is.
