I have two such cones. One sadly with some pits, the other (an old Airlite I think) is dirty but seemingly okay along the bearing track. Can't tell from your photo if it's better than yours or not. Happy to post you it if wanted? There're are a lot of cones like this though for 1950s hubs, so I'd get digital calipers and measure it up as best you can. Otherwise, give Abel Baker Cycles a call and tell them what you need. And make it a Saturday as I think that's the only day the guy who deals with the old stuff is in! They reproduce cones and parts for a lot of old hubs. I got Airlite ones there. Quality is pretty decent but can take a while to arrive. My address got lost once and he wrote it down completely incorrectly the second time. It is pleasantly old school though...they invoice for payment which is nicely trusting, and the chap is good for a chat about old parts.
