Tin Ceilings
We have established in an earlier post tha Abbington tin is sadly closed. A blessing a curse of that pace is that they took special care of the wares sold and sold items that others did not--such as treated tin panels and "corners". Unfortunately we are shore a couple of panels of our treated tin ceiling and do not know with what abbington treated the panels. COnsequently-we can not match up the colors of the new panel purchased from tin supply in Bushwick and those we purchased from abbington. Does anyone have a clue as t how to get in tuch with the folks that ran abbington or how to determine what type of coating they affixed to their panels?
thanks.

My understanding is that one line of Abbingdon panels were handpainted rather than powdercoated. This company carries some handpainted panels:
The Original Tin Ceiling Company, http://www.originaltinceilings.com/
Another possible source is a former longtime NY company, now in Texas:
Chelsea Decorative Metal Co., http://www.thetinman.com/
If either of these companies is able to help you, or you actually track down Abbingdon, please post what you find.
