reel repair part

Question
I have an old Ward Level Winding Casting Reel, #60-6769.  I know it is not valuable except sentimentally.  Years ago the nut holding the handle to the body of the reel was lost.  I am searching for a replacement or something that will work. Where might I look?

i would go to http://orca-online.org/ then select REEL TALK, you'll need to register, then post a question

You can also go on ebay, sporting goods, outdoor, fishing, vintage and search for another Wards reel....should cost less than $10 plus shipping...
