In putting in the new flooring, I had to remove the old molding. I can re-use a lot of it but some sections are really beat up - deep dents and scratches as though some furniture was pushed up against it repeatedly.
I want to replace this but I cannot find anything that matches at any of the home builder places in town. Lots of people are willing to make it custom for me but it would come at a custom price. Not willing to spend that much for a simple piece of molding.
There was a maker's mark on the back of the molding: Arvid's Historic Woods and for the hell of it, I googled the name and they are still in business - now named D & D Millwork. From their about page:

Very cool - our house was built about 40 years ago - it will be fun to see if they still stock the same molding. Mailing off a sample to them for a quote on Tuesday.
