Old wall hung Radiators

I am doing a new home and the homeowner purchased old radiators for me to install. Question is, I need one inch and a half left handed plug. Does anyone know where I can get one?
Thanks

Dan ... He wrote an article about finding old stuff . My memory is in shambles , but I believe it was Utica . They were the only makers of these kind of relics. Good luck !0 -

left hand plugs
In the past, we have purchased a set of "Ridgid" 1 1/2" left hand dies, and made left by right close nipples which can be treaded into the radiator and then capped with a standard cap. Not pretty but they work.
Good luck.
p.s. everyone should read Dan's story on Starbucks! I re read it every couple of months. Wish I could'a seen it.

we
work closely with a local machine shop for odd ball items. Not cheap, but a real life safer. He can make anything needed!
We just had the same problem on a job, but one of the scrap rads had reverse nipples we were able to salvage and reuse.
