Need a chemical price from 1996-7

[ffutures]

Does anyone have any old scientific catalogues around?

For my Harry Potter story it would be useful to know how much magnesium ribbon and other forms of magnesium cost in 1996-7. This isn't even slightly vital, and I can easily write around it, but if anyone does happen to know it would be useful.

I'm seeing prices for $3-$5 as well online now.
No one would complain if you said $3/roll

I've ended up writing around it - it really isn't worth the hassle of trying to get it right.
