Mango, I used the small crest from a $15-$20 leather and crest key fob for my 911 horn button. I'm sure you have seen these key fobs all over on eBay. I can maybe dig up a photo if you want to see.
Maybe too small for you application, but it was perfect for mine. You be the judge. But it was cheap.

Mango,
how about using a 356 hood crest? Same price, but you could recreate an original style button. i have used both he hub cap crest and the hood crest, and both work great... Just depends on the horn size you will be using.
I just installed on my M. Lempert Derrington Style wheel 1/2 inch dish With large 9bolt hub w/ ISP horn adaptor a 356 hood crest resined into a black banjo horn button ( button smooth like the originals- crest is under the resin);
The Resin idea I got at a birthday party my 7 yr old was invited to last week... They made resin paper weights... Talked to the parent, and she picked up the supplies at a hobby/ craft store... They sell kid kits for under 10$..,
How to-
- disassemble horn button, separate black plastic piece from mechanishm.
- make a mold of horn button using my kids Paydo - basically a container the shape of the horn button To pour the resin in and dip the horn button/crest.
- attach crest with paper thin two sided tape to black plastic horn piece ( use no foam emblem tape, not the foam trim type)
- pour 3mm of resin in to mold.
- dip/float black horn piece with crest ( face down) about -1.5 -2mm in to resin mold... Don't let the button bottom out in mold... You want to have .1mm over the crest....Allow to dry over night.
- remove from mold, sand down excess material/imperfections and down to desided smooth shape - ensuring the logo is completely immersed/covered.. Then wet sand/polish/buf/wax to a crystal clear finish.
-.. And re-assemble horn button.
My previous iteration was with the same wheel/crest, and Ivory banjo horn button, but crest was adhered just using the paper thin emblem two sided tape. Looked great, but feeling the raised crest bugged me. I may eventually recreate what I did with the black banjo horn.
I also have a new Lempert flat Nardi style wheel with Beck horn adaptor and 356 hub cap crest. Should have had Mike make the wheel with the larger 9 bolt hub... But I totally spaced!! Will eventually change the hex bolts for a more traditional looking screw head ;-)
I like to experiment, and all my big winter projects are done... So this is what has kept me busy the last few days ;-) Well, also installing a fire extinguisher system.
food for thought ;-)

wow, very cool ideas guys.
i think i lucked out on my speedster wheel horn button size. it fits the hub cap crest like a glove.
the new steering wheel i am doing also matches the hub cap crest like it's supposed to be there. plus i want them to match (more on that later).
so, i'm still looking for the hub cap crest (like the one from stoddard).
found one. thanks folks.
