The new Yorker carpet is totally different from that used in the 300 The NY material is what I'd call a tapestry and very delicate it seems where the 300 material is loop pile. Got to admit I have never seen what I knew was original 300 carpet but based on Gary's product there is no correlation. Have saved and reused a few in 55 New Yorkers which I have done and they are neat. Can't imagine any place remaking that material since it is so different.
