Prices and particulars of slates of the Winslade Quarry, Frogmore, South Devon, dated 1905. The prices given are for machine dressed ‘silver-sheen’ slates in various sizes (ranging from 24’’ x 12’’ to 12’’ x 6’’). The price list is printed on blue-grey card, and is folded down the centre. 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. The majority of the price lists (acquired over a number of years) are from Welsh slate quarries; therefore this price list is an interesting comparison as it is from a slate quarry in England.
