Seems to me that in the 1940s thru 1960s, iron was painted
with a black wrinkle paint. This stuff was tough and very
plentiful. It may not have covered machine tools, but it
was used on laboratory equipment and instruments galore.

What is this stuff? Why is it used? Is it superior or
just convenient? Why is it out of style today?

Thanks for your opinions and experience.
