Help Identifying Maid o Mist Steam Vent Model #

Hello,
I was wondering if someone would be able to help me identify the Maid o Mist vent model on one of my bedroom radiators? See picture attached. We just bought a home in Northern NJ and we wanted to replace 2 of the hissing vents.
I already identified the other bedroom Vent as a Gortons No. C but this one doesnt look like it has any distinguishable engravings other than the "15".

Tell us more about your hissing vents? Do they hiss steam, or just air?
Vent-rites cost more but work far far better than anything else I‘ve tried. Although they too can whistle. Gordon’s are better quality but not adjustable by changing orifice.
Hoffmans have better chrome

This will ley you know what size that vent is. You can use drills or known wire sizes to gauge them.
