Price history
Record & method
No price was recorded for 1966. This figure is estimated: we took the earliest observed price (January 1980) and moved it back along the category inflation curve — a back-cast of 14 years. The further back it reaches, the less it should be trusted. Treat it as an approximation, not a historical fact.
