Default How to match this moulding?

Go and visit you local tech school with a sample piece and ask them if
they could make you the footage you need. You may end up buying them a
tool or two in barter and furnishing your own lumber but a lot of times
it works out well.
All the ones I have seen are always strapped for supplies.

Hi,

The previous owner cut part of the crown moulding so he could fit built
in closets. Now the closets are gone (good riddance) and I would like
to repair the moulding. Also, I'm adding an internal door that I would
like to have the same moulding. The following is not a good picture,
but you can tell the shape:

What is my best strategy for finding moulding like that? I have visited
every single lumber yard and every mill shop in the 10 mile radius (I'm
in Philly) with now luck. One mill shop said they would do it for $200
+ $40/lf. Obviously, this is unaffordable.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions!
