I am a roofer and am currently working on a room addition to a residence in California. The homeowner has a tile which says "Monray A278" on it and they want an identical match. Can anybody help me identify this tile, where can I find it, who produced it, when, etc. Please feel free to email me at roofbug@yahoo.com......thank you!!

i found this article online:

. By the mid-1970s, the company had grown into one of the largest roof tile manufacturers in the country and in 1977 Monier bought out Monray’s interest. ...
