-, Dr. Murray points out thatthese Records completely explainthe term "tenpenny" nail. Theprice of nails was expressed intheir cost per hundred: twopenny nails originally cost twopence per hundred, pp. 69, 73,101; threepenny nails threepence,73, 82, 120, 138; fourpenny nailsfourpence, 84, 87, 120, 138; fivepenny nails fivepence, 84, 88, 135;sixpenny nails sixpence, 67, 82,87, 138; and so with tenpennynails, 67, 69, 72. These priceswere retained until 1487–8, p. 138:after that date, however, the pricedropped one penny per hundred,but the old designations were stillused. Sixpenny nails were soldfor fivepence per hundred, 151,176, 281; fivepenny nails for fourpence, 173, 175, 210, 281; fourpenny nails for threepence, 176,351; threepenny nails for twopence, 281, 340, 351; threepencewas charged for two-hundred twopenny nails, 281; and tenpennynails appear, on one occasion, tohave been bought at eightpenceper hundred, p. 176. Entrieswhich apparently signify recurrence to original prices occur atpp. 165, 176, 229, 248.
