J.C. Whitney Company, Chicago, IL., sells replicas.

Just be advised these coils do not work very well.  Auto ignition 
coils do not provide a lot of current which is what the caps need for 
good power input into the primary.  MMC caps and a 12 kV 30 mA nst 
will give you much better performance.  Unless you are doing this for 
historically correct reasons a nst will outperform an auto ignition 
coil every time.
