I found some on ebay [searched Google for "1/2 gallon carton handle"-
but you're right-- They aren't everywhere anymore.

I'd call a medical devices store & see if they have something- or at
least some ideas. It might be cheaper to get 2 quarts. They are
easier to grab and weigh 1/2 as much.

I wonder if the advent of all the plastic cartons with handles built
in made them obsolete?
