Dear Robert,
I have no idea what the stuff is made of... but the correct name is
'CORFAM'. As recently as two years ago I obtained replacement leather & glue
from Baldwin as a 'kit' to replace this interesting (...and useless)
material.
I look forward to your article. Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey T. Hickey, RPT
