I need to get som lino for my 1914 Stanley 607's running boards.

See [www.flickr.com] for a photo of a sample - does this look reasonably authentic? I only have a few very distressed floorboard samples to go on.

Dear Peter, As per the 1914 season catalog for the 607: "The running boards and front floor boards are covered with gray linoleum and bound with aluminum." Here in the U.S. we use a battleship gray linoleum that is a perfect match for the original. Your sample photo looks like it might have a grain or gray shadows to the color. Originally it was just a pure gray linoleum. Keep up the good work.

Hi Peter, Here's a link to a supplier: [www.battleshiplinoleum.com]
