This index will cover the following items saved from J. Sloper & Co. in 1991:
- Book 1 - Abbreviated to Bk1 in the links below.
A ledger containing the user identity, sample label illustrations of perfins, commercial overprints and insurance dies used with the costs. Pages 1 to 36 were retained as they were being sent to Reading, though since obtained for the Society in 2016 by Derek Ransom.
- Book 2 - Abbreviated to Bk2 in the links below.
A ledger containing the user identity, sample label illustrations of perfins, commercial overprints and insurance dies used with the costs. This Book predates Book 1 and was probably started in the late 1940’s.
- A-K and L-Z ledgers containing the user identity, address, sample label illustrations of perfins, commercial overprints and insurance dies used with the costs. These ledgers being clean were probably used to provide invoices to Sloper’s customers.
- Red A4 sized Book - Abbreviated to Red in the links below. Containing the user identity, address, sample label illustrations of perfins, commercial overprints and insurance dies used with the costs, probably replaced the aforementioned ledgers.
- Small Brown Booklet Containing Waterlow dies at one end (abbreviated to WAT in the links below) with name and sample label illustrations, and at the other end Insurance dies (abbreviated to INS in the links below) again with name and sample label illustrations. Ledger wholly in manuscript that was probably put into use after Sloper’s City office in Budge Row was badly damaged in May 1941 after an air raid. Staff and Account books.
- Record books illustrating machine dies made by Sloper for customers in the reign of Queen Victoria, with a sample strike but without any identities. Bill Cokayne told us that all previous records were lost in the war. Unfortunately no records were found containing details of perforating machines sold to customers from the 1940’s onwards. Not yet uploaded or included in the index.
The records show Surname followed by name or initials so I have followed that system.

To make this index more manageable, it has been split into two pages.
Records with identities beginning L to Z are on this page.
There is a separate page for Index A-K
