Anyone here make or know anyone who makes purse key pads.
I have a Fentum that I want to restore in the next few weeks.
Thanks,
Tommy
Jon C. in California has made them, and I think may even have posted some instructions, here or on his FB page.
At the bottom of the page, http://www.mcgee-flutes.com/keys&pads.html, Terry McGee makes the offer to coach you through the process of making purse pads. Might be worth a shout to see if the offer still stands 
Somewhere in his mass of research, he also has a detailed ‘autopsy’ that he has conducted on some intact original purse pads, but couldn’t quickly find it. . .
I believe Jon C. has also availed himself of Terry’s expertise in this area, and I believe he has detailed a few groans here over making them. . .
Nimble fingers and very sharp eyes will be an asset!

Yes it is great fun…
Just get some raw wool, the sticky stuff, roll a hard ball of wool, cut out some fine skived goat leather, using a hollow leather punch, stitch around the outside of the leather circle, put your woll ball in the enter, pull the two ends o the thread to tighten the ball, then tie off… The trick is getting the ball the right size, and stuffing the leather purse, using a pencil or some. One shaped devise. Each ball is custom made to the key… 
Actually, Terry had the article written by Thomas Lindsey, relating to the elastic balls, at the same time, I was restoring the authors original flute, a Lindsey Perfected, so I dissected the elastic ball, and we re-engendered it. Synergy… Robert Bigio was the one that suggested using the wool that is stuck to the wire fencing, where the sheep scratch on, I explained that we didn’t have many flocks of sheep in Southern California… So I bought some raw wool, tha did the job.

Hmmm.
Any other material you might suggest…

Do you find wololey sheeps balls hard to come by?
I will answer for Jem " actually you can use conventional leather clarinet pads, just fill the cup with shellac and float the pad in place"… I might add, if you have concave pad seats, that you commonly find on Clementi flutes, then purse pads are pretty much the only option, except for forming silicone pads, which is kind of tacky.
Why, thankee, Jon! 
No shortage of sheep here in Wales…
There’s always those “Silk Trees” silk, available I think in St. Louis.
I tried that, as there was a African Tulup tree right out side my shop. It isn’t dense enough.
Well, yeah, there’s nothing so dense as sheep.
We’re in the Highlands now, Loch Rannoch, on our way to Oban, then the Stone Haven folk festival. Found some raw wool, lots of sheep and goats here in the mountains, shall have a go at making some purse pads when back in Sweden
Should serve, but actually, if you know anyone who spins wool they’ll assuredly give you some scraps from a shorn fleece. Scavenged wool from fences and thorns has usually had most of its lanolin grease washed out by exposure to the elements and has otherwise been weathered. Fleece shorn, gathered and stored properly will be softer, springier and more flexible as well as greasier - all beneficial to the purpose. Of course, you could (not advised!) chase a sheep and tear some off fresh… but check the farmer’s not watching!
I would love see a video of that endeavor.
