Philco dial rivets (eyelets)?
#3

Orig brass-style escutcheon type "hollow rivets" ( very small sizes), can be purchased from: http://www.dollhouseminiatures.com Im not sure the exact size you are seeking, but the smaller size offered at above website replaces exactly the "clear plastic" type heat formed dial covers to their orig brass escutcheon frames in most all brands vintage Radios that used plastic dial covers!. They offer 2 different sizes in these hard to find brass-rivet items! Search their website in the "electrical" connections area at bottom of webpage if you wish.Then once you "click-on" the "electrical" section of the website , click-on "hardware", then scroll down and find these hard-to-find brass "grommets"!! I searched for these items for years myself, and found them! I have many in-stock now myself! Im not sure if this is the type item you guys are discussing here?,... but if so, contact me, I have many of the smaller brass-size rivet-hollow-grommets here in my shop! I stocked up!! Removing the orig brass-grommets on the brass escutcheon requires purchasing a hand held "dremmel-tool", and using a very tiny grinding-disc that comes with the dremmel-kit. Harbor Freight also sells their house- brand of a dremmel type hand operated unit for "detail" work at very modest prices! No vintage tube type radio repair shop should be without this very-handy tool and its accessories indeed!! Grind off the orig escutcheon rivets on the "back-side" of the orig brass escutcheon so no "scar marks" show. The dremmel type tools are hand-held, for secure-precise uses in hard to reach areas!! Removing tube socket grommets (when necessary) has never been easier when a big drill doesn't fit! Just trying to be helpful. Icon_wink
