This "new" International Paper Micarta is similar to the Westinghouse material I have but a fraction of the price. They bought the Micarta brand from Westinghouse in the 80s.

The weave, color, texture, machinability and translucency are very similar to the OG Westinghouse, however it's only about 30 years old so it hasn't taken on the dark colors of the antique material.

Vintage International Paper Micarta.

VIP Micarta.


Now everyone can call it something in a sales thread without stumbling over their shit trying to type something as tedious as ‘that stuff you got that isn’t Westinghouse vintage antique edge cut Micarta from those guys that make paper or something”.


Why do I have to think of everything.



Also, ffs, it doesn’t matter if you have a shitload of it, it’s not enough in the long term, and is therefore valuable, which commands a higher price. Price it accordingly. Let it be known that it’s YOUR deluded sense of pragmatism that keeps Jo the Machinist Jo the Machinist from bathing in fresh milk and rose petals while sipping champagne every morning, not from my lack of trying.

It has a nice butterscotch color to it. I really like it. Some of the sections have started darkening.

Look at this picture I found of myself with my favorite spoon, taken back when this vintage International Paper Micarta was made.


Man that shirt was really cool. Wish I still had it.

Don't envy you Mr. G. It's an uphill battle tutoring American capitalism to the altruistic types. Our other mutual friend and Nathan's kindred soul is slowly coming around but relapsing is always a concern ;)
