Anaglypta - Early Victorian help needed

[Horace]

I am decorating my hall at the moment and the ceiling is being papered with an anaglypta (or actually "supaglypta") paper called "Early Victorian" code number RD0160 (or sometimes informally amongst friends as just 0160). I am less than one roll short but unfortunately the machines that make it are on their way from here to Germany and wont start embossing more of the stuff until February. Has anyone got a spare roll in the attic they they are prepared to let me purchase at well over the retail price so I can finish before Christmas?!

I have ring round various suppliers and checked a number of web sites but no one keeps stock of anything anymore!

There's an eBay seller who isn't currently listing your RD number, but might be worth contacting?

This is the same company, and their website says that they have '1000 units in stock'.

I guess you tried:

According to Google, this eBay shop has also been offering that paper (but not currently):

Thanks for that but I'm afraid no joy.

I suppose you've tried the "Where to buy" section of Anaglypta's own website?

 

[Horace]

Yes I have but thanks for the link. Also spoke to their customer services who said they couldn't say when it would be available again. It seems I am going to have find someone who has a spare roll in a wardrobe somewhere or wait until next year.

There is no slack in the system anymore with just in time, direct ordering etc etc but then no one will pay a premium for someone to hold stock. Most times it works but when it doesn't its a pain in the backside.

but unfortunately the machines that make it are on their way from here to Germany and wont start embossing more of the stuff until February.

Sad - why are the machines being moved I wonder?

Ebay has a "wanted" section - might be worth a try.
Good luck.
