Oil Cloth
Anyone know a source of the old style oil cloth? I am not looking for the cheap plastic coated stuff. Thanks

The subject got me to looking on the Internet for il cloth. I had just assumed it was still available somewhere.
So far the closest I could find is what they called" oilcloth" is waxed linen in dull brown and in green. Not the real stuff but stuff they used during and after civil war for tents, ground covers etc; Hamilton Distriubtors.
There is one genuine piece somewhere. MY Uncle gave me a book, at about 4, of Brer Rabbit, printed on oilcloth that folded into a book. You unfolded it once and there was two pages and then again two more pages and fully folded out there was maybe eight pages. I don't really remember. Mother kept it until shortly before she passed. One of my siblings has it, or I hope they do.
It'll be mine again, if they let it slip.
That was about 1951 or 2 perhaps. It was old then.
