Short answer - sorry, don't have what you are looking for.
Like many folks of our age (mid-70's), there was a time when we routinely went to garage sales looking for old furniture that we could refinish and use - both as an 'in thing' to do, and as an economic approach to acquiring furniture required by our growing households. We still have a solid mahogany table in our breakfast room that I think started out as a sewing machine cabinet.
Homer Formby was a professional furniture restorer/refinisher in my home town (Jacksonville, FL). When the furniture recycling craze emerged in the 60's, he started a mail-order business selling some of the products he made for use in his shop, and which were heavily dependent on Tung Oil as well as solvents that today are considered too toxic for normal use. Eventually, that mail order business took off; Formby initially ran it himself, and later the business was later acquired by Kodak. Along the way, the products were cost-reduced (no more Tung Oil), and substitutes were found for the more toxic solvents so that the products could be targeted at the 'gentleman/dilettante refinisher) market of the time (late 70's, onwards). So my impression was that while Formby's original product were rather good, the stuff sold in K-Mart and other mass-market outlets was not exceptional. I don't recall every actually using Formby's products, opting instead for products from the paint store that weren't advertised on TV.
