| Notes: | Label source: Tree yielded 14.5lbs. This rubber is very like that from the same tree grown in Ceylon, and quantities have been sold here at a very high price - 2d to 3d above fine para rubber direct from Brazil. We are afraid however that there is some, thing wrong in the method of curing your sample. It shows little elasticity and breaks very easily. Excellent rubber, badly cured. We should estimate today's value at something under 3/- per lb. Nov 1st, 1907. | ||||
