Oh Michael,

That of course is a really demanding question.

I'll try and leaf thru my archives though. On the other hand, in order to put the 200 year price in a both reasonable and comparable relation to 21st c. market prices we would have to to learn a lot about the actual historic purchase power of 220 years ago ... Maybe some local economy historian could help you along with this ...

Best,
Michael
