I've been able to find small stashes of 40's-60's carbon comp resistors...Even NOS they are drifty and moisture sensitive...I have to make sure they are in tolerance before using the NOS examples.
The classic ohmite Brown Devils are still in production (though they are being phased out gradually) and new ones look original...
They more modern styles are made in more original shades of brown and I eventually plan to make up a kit of those.
