Full title - Card of Prices.

Prices and particulars of slates of the Bwlch-y-Slater Slate Quarry Company, Blaenau Ffestiniog, dated 1907. The prices given are for machine dressed ‘best blue slates’ in various sizes (ranging from 24’’ x 14’’ to 10’’ x 6’’), and of various quality (‘best’, ‘medium’, ‘second’, ‘strong medium’, and ‘third/damp course’ quality slates). The price list is printed on purple card, and is folded in three. The donor’s family were timber merchants in Taunton, Somerset. They supplied timber and slate to local builders and merchants, and as a result acquired a collection of slate price lists.
