Midvale Buffs and Grays
Midvale brick are made from deep mined fire clay procured in the Uhrichsville district, recognized as the purest fire clay in existence. Midvale Buffs are not the so-called ivory bluff, but a rich cream color. The sort shadows produced by the light scoring entirely remove any glaring effect. Midvale greys are produced in a -semi-enamel or terra-cotta effect.
