Hi looking for this part for my window. It
Looks like the in tact one on the right of my first photo but is slightly bigger as you can see the broken one on the left. The 2 last pictures are of the part in the window versus the side of the window with no part. I had bought the wrong size which is the intact pivot shoe in my photo. Looking for next size up.

Thanks for posting. It's hard to tell what you have based on your pictures, since much of your original shoe is obscured, but it looks similar to our 15-180. Look it over and see what you think.

The 15-180 does not look like the piece that I had originally.

The measurements for the piece I had were indeed 2 inches by 1 inch. The inside piece is a half an inch. The picture of the piece is in this thread. Please help.

I'd take another look. From your photos, we recognize that the window was made by Metal Industries in Pennsylvania. They used 15-180 pivot shoes. The shoe is 1-1/4" wide at the widest point by 2" tall and 17/32" thick. The width and thickness are what make a big difference, but the height is less vital.

You may want to tilt in and remove your sash to get a better view of the pivot shoe and compare.
