Notes: Label source: Report from Messrs Hecht Levis & Kahn Nov. 1st 1907. We return your sample of gutta and rubber herewith. Gutta Jelutong is known on the market here under the name of Pontianak ? & is worth today about 19 pounds sterling per ton. It generall, y arrives here in large brick shaped lumps & we have never seen it in the form of your sample which also has not the peculiar smell that Pontianak has. We should estimate the value at about 19 to 20 pounds sterling per ton.
