Front Wheel bearings for a 1923 Hudson

Want to replace my front wheel bearings.  I see they are timkin brand numbers 315 and 415.
Does anyone have a source for new cone bearings?  Is there a conversion number for the current
Timkin catalogue?

    I just did a quick internet search, and they seem rather pricey. Hopefully somebody has some sitting around.

    I never worry too much about old bearing numbers when searching for replacements, I search by dimensions, ID, OD and thickness.
    That removes the possibility of the seller inflating prices if they can detect that you are looking for a bearing for a 90 yo car. The sellers logic can be that anyone with a 90 yo car must be (a) rich and (b) desperate for the bearing, so charge what you like.
    Most bearing makers have lists of bearings online sorted by dimension.

    A club member in Adelaide has advertised a few times that he has a NOS set for sale - ozhudsonATgmail.com   But try Bobs idea first.
