Thank you all who responded, it seems that there may have been variations/alternatives and differing descriptions to cover the same or similar items. In order to reduce the confusion, something I should have done to begin, here is a picture of my current steering wheel from my 1950 Slough built car. Its a Bluemels wheel (marked on the rim as such, and is to the best of my understanding the item factory fitted at that time. The blurred picture shows where the ‘coating’ has worn through, but on the boss it is easier to see the thickness of the coating, which is to best described as a celluloid material, not bakelite, nor yet cellulose spray.

I would prefer to have a similar finish made to the wheel and am seeking a recommended restorer, if you have had this process done or know someone who has please?

Thanks Jack
