The first indication of a formal grading system is found in the 1912 catalog which shows three grades priced in shillings at 21/, 50/ & 90/. This three grade system continued until 1923/1924 but there were at least two price changes prior to that time - around 1917 when the prices were increased to 42/, 63/ & 90/ and around 1920 when the prices again increase to 50/, 90/ & 130/. In about 1925 a fourth grade was introduced with US dollar pricing for the four grades being $25, $45, $65 and $100. The large 1928 catalog shows the pricing in shillings for the four grades at 50/ 90/ 130/ & 210/. Note that the pricing of the first three of the four grades was identical to earlier years (i.e. 1920) with a huge price jump to the new fourth grade. This can be taken two ways: | The first indication of a formal grading system is found in the 1912 catalog which shows three grades priced in shillings at 21/, 50/ & 90/.
