Vintage gold, red or green glitter/sparkle wrap for inlays

Posts: 85 Threads: 25

Hi,

I'm looking for some vintage wrap. Preferably Gold glitter/sparkle, but red or green could do the work to. I need to make two 16" inlays.

Thank you.

Yes, and also I have modern wrap too. The problem is that this no matches with the old wraps when they are faded. That's why I'm looking for vintage wrap.

If you have aged/faded wrap on the shell now, getting some "new" vintage wrap might not match either.

Been there, tried that. Good luck in the hunt.

Thank you. Don't need to be a perfect match, that would be impossible. I'm only trying to get one similar as possible.

I've got most of the gold wrap from a 1950s cocktail kit. I've already cut strips for another forum member, charged only shipping, but he had to wait...mostly for me to get off my butt, find the equipment to cut it into strips, and send it. I could get it to you, but I promise that it might not be until my Christmas vaca.
