That looks like a bit that you could break off an old chair tbh. Stick a bit of square wood on it for your label and off you go.

We have a few old tap handles at work as well. Could ask if they can be sold (they'd be cheap).

Jacob,

Do you need distinctive handles?

Why not just use "Pump Clips" like wot they use on handpumps.

Here are a few on the bay:

That would require trip to B&Q & power tools :/
Not mentioning my two left handsĀ  :-[
Anyway - idea worth trying ...
