Dumb question ... where to find fahnestock clips (good brass or bronze ones)

I am making 4 reproduction #6 ignition batteries for my two old magneto phones.

I went to my junk box and realized all the fahnestock clips I have are plated ... some just steel with brass or copper coating, some galvanized, some chrome ....

I wanted my batteries to be as close to original as possible.

From the pictures I seem, it looks like they should be spring brass or phosphorous bronze.

I just spent an hour looking on the web.  Lots of plated  (even found one on Amazon ... title "sold brass" ... description "brass plated" ) ones but not what I am looking for.

Any suggestions on who would have them?

Looking for about a dozen of them.

Thanks ..... Mike
