When I go to antique shows locally (mostly only the "big" one several times
a year that has something like 1600 "booths") there almost always is a
dealer or two selling stuff that does *exactly* what you want (and for the
very same reason).

I'd suggest asking around local antique shops for a source, or maybe the
back of a modern antique (subject matter)  magazine (I assume there are
such things).

Maybe a web search will work.  There are such things available commercially
for "home use"!
