I am seeking potential sources for reproducing "interlocking" linoleum
     which was installed in 1916 in the 1st floor service areas at
     Glenmont, Thomas A. Edison's estate.  The reproduction floor covering
     will be used in the restoration of the Edison's kitchen (and
     eventually the Butler's Pantry) which currently has a more modern
     linoleum floor.  This "interlocking" linoleum is extant in one room
     only: the Servants' Dining Room.  It is battleship linoleum, in two
     colors (dark green and gold).  It literally looks like a puzzle: each
     identically-shaped piece has been cut (maybe die-stamped) and linked
     together to cover the floor.  I have contacted two linoleum firms,
     Gerbert Ltd and Forbo, but am seeking other options.  Does anyone out
     there have other suggestions?
