Window cranks

A home owner from Reston Va says:
I'm hoping to replace these cranks with white hardware that's folds flat on the window sill.

We may sell a more modern version of this operator, but it may not be possible to get these with a handle that folds flat to the sill. No handle can fold that low, unfortunately; if your intent is to install blinds, then there's no item on the market that will give you the clearance you need. The blinds need to be installed to make way for the operator, not the other way around.

That said, I'm happy to look for something that at least has a lower clearance than what you have already. However too much of the operator is obscured by the window frame. There are a couple important details I can't make out. Would it be possible to see a photo of this removed from the window?

For now, my best guess is the 39-028E. I think your operator might be an older version of this. This is compatible with the 39-205 folding handle, which will give you the lowest possible clearance possible with this design.
