Sue I haven’t seen this one, but it’s probably a thinner version of Coats 7 Clark Hand cotton Quilting Glace which I understand is size 20 (page 28 in Ed 5).
30 wt quilting thread is likely to be three ply, and somewhere in the mid-20s for the w/cm (which is a bit thicker than regular sewing machine cotton). ELS = Egyptian Long Staple I don’t know what the other numbers refer to, though C might be the colour. It will almost certainly be useable for BL; try making a small bookmark to test it, using 1/10” grid for a torch on pattern.
