Redoing the drawers in my parents house.
they have these custom made drawers they love.
On one of them, the roller nylon wheel with captive rollers died.
I'm not finding anything like these for sale.. anywhere.
all the replacemnt roller hardware that mount similar have the wheel inboard, not outboard.
Unit is a Grant, and is marked GRANT DR
Here is a pic of exactly what I have I found on the internet. apparently others are looking too!

Is there a drawer which is less-used than the knife drawer which (probably) failed? Why not do a swap as a temporary fix?
While you have the drawers apart, is the inner drawer 1" narrower than the face frame? If it is, you can buy any modern glide set (with all of the metal and ball bearings), and mount it to the side of the knife drawer for a generation of service life. You may have to retrofit some pine to the base cabinet to support the outside sections of the unit, though.
