Excellent and as it turns out these are early automotive wire types made close to what is required just like what my 1950 Mercury uses and earlier. Some of the sorces including eBay sellers indicated to me the wire is 1/8 " on the outside so perhaps this is 16/18 gauge depending on the thickness of the rubber and cotton. Certainly better than being so thick that it wasn't being used mentioned by Radioroslyn and I will keep picking through the list of sorces provided thanks to Sam so at least I know about them now.
