I am trying to find a nylon lock nut for a vintage baby cradle from around 1980. The locking ring nut needed for the cradle has a diameter of 7/16 inch with a slot size of 1/8 inch, and so far I have not been able to locate a matching replacement through local hardware stores or online searches.
Because older cradle and crib hardware often used manufacturer-specific measurements, it can be difficult to match replacement locking nuts, barrel nuts, and threaded hardware on vintage baby furniture.
