Get at me, I'll send you a sample.   Old_school (Old_school) Senior Member Username: Old_school Post Number: 184 Registered: 01-2009 Posted on Wednesday, July 15, 2009 - 05:19 pm:        Got it! Thanks!   Epl (Epl) Junior Member Username: Epl Post Number: 18 Registered: 06-2009 Posted on Wednesday, July 15, 2009 - 12:57 pm:        I sent you a message yesterday, did you receive it? It also included a photo of my stock as well as an option for new. Thank you...   Old_school (Old_school) Senior Member Username: Old_school Post Number: 183 Registered: 01-2009 Posted on Tuesday, July 14, 2009 - 08:29 pm:        I took a picture of the slate inside the house on a white background, and obviously some of the slate on the roof. It is very hard and dense like Buckingham, but has a rougher texture. I am sure that 3/8" would do.   Epl (Epl) Junior Member Username: Epl Post Number: 16 Registered: 06-2009 Posted on Tuesday, July 14, 2009 - 08:52 am:        Old School: I checked my stock to see what I might have along the lines of 1/2" thick Bucks and came up with only 3/8" at best. I do have a Vermont Gray Black that is close in color and texture (fairly dark in color). I can send you pic if you might get use out of it. Otherwise, I've put in a request to one of my suppliers to see if there's more options. If you want to see a pic of what we have in stock, send me an email: epl@claytileroof.com.

I know its the same roof. So i with John on this more picture or send us each a pcs.   Old_school (Old_school) Senior Member Username: Old_school Post Number: 182 Registered: 01-2009 Posted on Monday, July 13, 2009 - 07:38 pm:        Could be. It is black, but hinting to a bit of gray, and it has a bit of texture to it. I was thinking peach bottom. They are just 14's random, but a beautiful roof. It hasn't hit its' stride yet and it is 80 years old.   Epl (Epl) Junior Member Username: Epl Post Number: 15 Registered: 06-2009 Posted on Monday, July 13, 2009 - 09:08 am:        From first glance, I'd have to agree with John. This appears to be a Buckingham Slate.   John_chan (John_chan) Member Username: John_chan Post Number: 23 Registered: 08-2006 Posted on Monday, July 13, 2009 - 07:32 am:        Monson has the countersunk drilled holes. I think it's a course grained Buckingham, but it also might be Peach Bottom. I'd have to see a sample in my hands to be sure.   Slate_man (Slate_man) Senior Member Username: Slate_man Post Number: 431 Registered: 01-2007 Posted on Monday, July 13, 2009 - 04:40 am:        I would say monson.   Old_school (Old_school) Senior Member Username: Old_school Post Number: 180 Registered: 01-2009 Posted on Sunday, July 12, 2009 - 08:27 pm:        About 70 years old and in great shape. We have to do a few repairs and I need about 30-40 pieces. 14" x random, about 1/2" thick. http://picasaweb.google.com/crookston.john4/CedarStreetSlateRepairs?authkey=Gv1s RgCKWh8tLtkOiWag#
