Need old skimmer basket help...

We are in the final stages of a pool rehab on an investment home and missing the skimmer basket. Do any of pool pros recognize this and how can we find a replacement for it.

Skimmer/Pool specs
1. Copper suction pipe in the center sits up approx 1" in height.
2. Approx. height to the water line from the bottom of the skimmer is 5"
3. Diameter of the skimmer is 8" and constructed of copper.
4. Total height from bottom of skimmer to top is approx 11".
5. Pool is approx. 1970's

We have checked with a local pool supply companies and went through all their books to find one, but no luck. Thank you for the help...

when I went to peak at your picture ( via web), it said it had been moved or deleted.
what brand is the pool ( if you know), any markings that might idicate what brand the skimmer is? ( maybe it might say on the skimmer weir?)

oh sure, as soon as I posted that, the picture showed up...lol:rolleyes:
