Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]

Inventories

Inventories

Inventories valued at LIFO cost represented 61% and 62% of total inventory at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.  The excess of current cost over LIFO valued inventories was approximately $7,919,000 at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time.  Accordingly, interim LIFO must necessarily be based, to some extent, on management's estimates at each quarter end. Net inventories consist of the following:

(in thousands)	March 31, 2018					December 31, 2017
Finished goods		$	143,147				$	133,161
Work in process		11,024					10,243
Raw materials		14,040					12,164
Total inventory		$	168,211				$	155,568

Inventory obsolescence reserves were $7,286,000 at March 31, 2018 and $6,932,000 at December 31, 2017.
