Sadly, pretty much everyone is out of stock ... :'(

So ebay might be your best best.

I know lizard Lick sells some limited quantity of used ones. http://www.lizardlick.com/pages/pushbuttons.shtml (http://www.lizardlick.com/pages/pushbuttons.shtml)

That photo is not of a Wico button holder. That looks like the more modern button holders that Bob Roberts sells (or did... I bought mine years ago).

Wico leaf holder looks like this:

Here is the page/site from which to order the type you posted:

He appears to have some translucents but in the "long" style buttons:
