What is this finish material?

House was built 1938-39. I am assuming that the interior wall plaster finishes are original. The construction appears to be a backing "lathe" that consists of vertical metal wire, horizontal flat metal strips, with a paper layer holding it together. Rough coat of plaster with a finish skim coat. Has anyone seen this before? Do you know the product? Photos below.
