    Hi, I am new to this list, and am seeking information. 

    I am searching for the names of companies that made and distributed
    jewelry making and metalsmithing products that used to contain
    asbestos. I keep reading that lots of people on the list "used to
    keep a bucket of asbestos under the bench," used to used "asbestos
    soldering boards and pads, " used to use "asbestos based investment
    for casting", "used to use asbestos slurry," "used to use kilns that
    were lined with asbestos." etc. 

    I'm looking for company and product names and or copies of old
    catalogs that have the names of asbestos based products. I would
    even pay for old catalogs that listed asbestos based jewelry and
    metalsmithing products. The catalogs would probably be pre-1978, and
    so probably not very many of them will have survived. 

    If catalogs aren't available, I would be happy with a few names that
    some of you may have remembered. 

Thanks,
Paul Wood
