Another recollection:
I was up north at my house near Traverse City. I stopped at an old carpet store which had been in business for many years. I asked the owner if he had any battleship linoleum, and he said he thought he still had some.
He bought out a bolt which was too stiff for me. I should have purchased it and let it warm up in the sun for a few days.
Moral of the story: stop in old flooring stores in small towns and ask the oldest geezer you can find if they have a bolt of battleship!
