You can use a modern 7/8” bracket with a shim. Try a 7/8” OD W/5/8” ID “spacer” from hardware store to use a modern clamp on 5/8” seatpost. I’ve also used copper pipe to make a shim.

Bike shop, they can order one from J & B importers

Online sales of collectibles, transportation, bicycles.
One seller may call them an "undercarriage".

Have you tried recutting the serrations with a jeweler's file?—might bring it back to life for a little while.
