Default Blank Round Wall "Cover Plate" For Hiding Old Thermostat Hole: Where To Find ?

Hello:

This is one of those really dumb things, but have been trying to find
something suitable for months now, and can't seem to.
Have also done extensive searching on the web, but perhaps I am using the
wrong buzz words ?
Think it would be easier to find the Holy Grail.

Anyway, I have an opening in my plaster wall with some unused wires that at
one time had a furnace thermostat there.
I would like to cover the opening to neaten it up.

What I need is a Blank plastic (almond color) "cover plate" of approx. 3-1/2
inches in diameter, with perhaps two holes spaced along a diameter for
holding it in place (I'd use some of those small plastic inserrts to hold
the screws in the plaster).

I'd even settle for one if it had a small round hole in the center.
I had one like this in my older house that was used for feeding some phone
wires thru a wall opening neatly, but have never seen it offered again
anywhere.

I thought perhaps some telephone accessory stores, or HD, or someplace on
the web, might have something, but no luck.
Lots of blank rectangular ones, but no round ones.

If anyone can suggest a source, I would be most appreciative.

Thanks,
Bob
