i worked for ford in the paint dept. at metuchen, nj from 1963 to 1974 i started knocking off chunks of paint from the skids. at that time i worked with the chunks (sanding and shaping). i made cuff links tie pins and other pins. i moved to ca. in 1974. last year i moved to a new home. at that time i found some of the chunks and the past 4 mounths i have been working with them making jewelry. i thought that i was the only one to have this interest. i was very supprised to hear that this is known as fordite
