If anyone is or has been looking for hard rubber(ebonite) as used in the old phones for various things, this company has it in 3/4 inch diameter round sticks and it is just like the old stuff. I bought some to make the grommets that the cords go through for candlestick phones. It is expensive on small amounts, but not as bad on several pieces. It turns on lathes nicely. They dont carry sheets of it that I can see. You have to scroll down to the black, they have lots of whacky colors! http://americanartplastics.com/hard_rubber_pricing.shtml
