This board is stamped "T" as the factory that made it also made Textolite, i.e. resin impregnated fabric that formed hardboard material.

Manufactured at GE Coshocton (Ohio,) probably before 1985.

I don't think phenolic is used today except in very limited circumstances where there's a requirement for it.

For the most part, what's used today is a material called FR4, it's a fiberglas/resin board and looks translucent yellowish or greenish when the copper is removed. Other kinds of boards include ceramic and aluminum substrate, but those are extremely specialized in nature.
