Maybe. But This is Just as Likely:

It happens to other supposedly good quality items as well. I had a four spoke steering wheel that was an option on 1971-1972 Chevelles and Monte Carlos hanging in my garage for over a decade. When I put it on a 72 Monte Carlo and drove the car, you could not let go of the wheel. When the sun came out it became gooey. When it was cold, it was OK. Pattern was still there and it was not worn, just oozed when warm. But I guess it was not supposed to last fifty years.
