Have you been able to find them? The hold back I see is that they could eventually stick like old door bells did in my day. You'll be replacing them.

I have a 100 year old home. We have push button in the hallways. But we rewired all the boxes, because they buttons were attached to old wiring. This made it safer. Restoration Hardware Catalog has many old home hardware.
