I imagine ebay has them, but somehow I dont think I would get a
bargain on there. New ones are only around $5 each. While I might
find them on ebay for $2 each, I am sure the shipping would be $10 for
each breaker. That just seems to be the way ebay is lately, so I dont
even use it anymore unless I am looking for something that is obsolete
or antique, and then i prepare to get robbed on the shipping and
handling fees.

I just thought I could get a bunch of them for cheap and give the OP a
few bucks for what he would normally toss in the trash. I also like
the idea of recycling. However, it looks like mine are a different
type anyhow, and hopefully safer. I have seen plenty of these tan
colored ones in use around this area.

Don't recall the specifics of the model names at present...eBay's like
anywhere else, you simply have to be prudent. I bought a whole passel
(something like 40 total mixed 110/220 for about $15 plus $10 shipping
that provided me enough spares for my lifetime...these happened to be
mostly NOS from a retiring electrician with a few pulls. I did have to
keep looking for a while, however. ymmv, obviously.
