Dan Wilson mentioned the green paper Chase and Baker rolls yesterday
and I have to agree that the paper has very good longevity.  I'm in a
dry climate in California and most of the Aeolian and Universal rolls
I have (mainly from 1900-1910) are mostly brittle, while the green
Chase and Baker connerized rolls from the same period are almost like
new.  Whatever combination they came up with was just right for aging
in all climates.  It's not a waxy paper like the papers of today, yet
it has held up for some 90 years.  The regular connerized rolls are
very good, too.  I don't think it's the climate as much as the paper
and how the rolls are stored.
