Taken from acquisition proposal; ref 1: "Mond Nickel Company, Sudbury. Valuable and rare samples from early Inco operations. Silveroid tubing and sheet (silver+nickel), slag from nickel refining, nickel sheets and foil, nickel\chromium alloy products, nickel\iron alloy, 1907, 1917. A cooperation between GSC and the Mond Nickel Company (later INCO) from Sudbury dated back to 1901 when the company financed A. E. Barlow to re-examine nickel\copper sulphites deposits and prepare a detailed report on the Sudbury mining area. This work was commissioned by Dr. Ludwig Mond, a British scientist who incorporated the Mond Nickel. Mond actually tried to hire Barlow away from GSC, and the Survey agreed to delegate Barlow to study nickel deposits rather than loose him. In 1917, the Nickel Commission released a report that recommended that all nickel ore be refined in Ontario. Since Mond had been one of the largest refiner of nickel and copper since the 1890s, GSC collected various grades of products and alloys from the company to conduct research that supported conclusions of the 1917 Commission. All the products in this lot, represent pure metals, and alloys of nickel and copper, each with a different property. Nickel ingot from Inco dates to 1920, the year in which the company started to produce nickel for the automobile industry. Copper ingot from the 1920 is marked as Mond\Inco, which is impossible because the companies only merged in 1928. Monel, an alloy of copper and nickel, is stronger than either of the metals alone and more resistant to rust. Crude pig is a refinery-ready metal bar produced from metals melted in a furnace. Matte is a by-product of melting non-ferrous metals."
