Although there were no markings on it, about 10 years I purchased what I'm pretty sure was an American Metalcraft peel. It's perfect- lightweight, very thin blade, tapered from the edge of the handle to the edge of the blade. A family member got it wet, and I acted quickly enough that it only warped a tiny bit, but that's what I still use today. Within the last 10 years, American Metalcraft has changed their design (outsourcing?), and this peel no longer exists- either in the AM brand or other brands. At least not that I can see, and believe me when I tell you that I've looked.
For what's out there, even with it's flaws, American Metalcraft still makes a fairly acceptable peel- at least, right now they do. If you're going to buy something online, in this case, the devil you know is probably better than the devil you don't

The reason I say this is that the way peels tend to be photographed, it tends to very difficult to see how thin the blade is and how well it's tapered. So many peels... TOO many peels are just a thick, untapered plank of wood with a hard beveled edge cut into the last inch or so. This is not a pizza peel. A pizza peel should look like this:

This is a screenshot of a 3d model of my peel. Do you see the thinness of the blade and how the taper starts all the way from the other end of the blade? The only way this happens is with a large enough belt sander. That means that if you've got a 42" peel, you have to have a 42" belt sander.
During my travels, I did find a peel that looks a little like it might be the right shape, but, it's both hard to tell from photos, and, it looks like the taper changes from model to model.
If you look at this 14" model, you see what looks like a very graceful taper,

and yet, the edge on the 16" looks like it's tapered with a harsher angle

If someone wants to potentially take one for the team by biting the bullet, buying one of these baker's board peels and taking a photo of the cross section, I might move this to the top of the list for online recommendations, but, until then, I think American Metalcraft is the safer choice.
American Metalcraft is very common in restaurant stores, so there's a chance that the peel you ruined might be AM. If it is, I'd just get another one and make sure it never gets wet.
