Cremona Valve Pouch Reinforcing Material
By Paul Manganaro

Restoring Cremona Pouches

Scotty Greene asked about the material used to secure the valve
stems to the pouch material in a Cremona nickelodeon.  The thin sheets
of material which appear to be fiber used to be called "fishpaper".
It was used in electrical applications back in the 1920s.  McMaster
Carr sells this material under the name: "electrical grade sheets".
Search McMaster Carr for fishpaper and this category will come up
in the search.

I chose to do a search on eBay for new-old stock.  It's also used for
Ampico secondary unit valves as lifter discs.
