I have accumulated several 1890's- 1900 brass-bound folding plate cameras whose Bausch & Lomb shutters have damaged shutter or aperture leaves.

These leaves were originally made from very thin sheets of hard-rubber, known variously as "vulcanite" or "ebonite".

Has anyone found a source or similar material for stock to make replacement leaves ?


Thanks,
