MANUSCRIPT SHOP ACCOUNT BOOK
Unique Manuscript Item
1840
Manuscript Account Book, approx 200 pages all written upon. Covered in a green leather covered board wrap with marbled endpapers.Condition is Very Good plus-the book is firm in its cover and with no significant damage. I would suggest that this is a shop account book, as it has entries for various names over a number of pages each, suggesting that customers bought on credit and then paid or "settled" perhaps quarterly or bi-monthly. The range of goods offered is great, one page showing lard,bacon,salt, a score of eggs, 2 Gown pieces, lining for ditto, cotton and pins, thread for Worstead, fresh pork, calico,wood spoons,currants etc . Full of interesting detail .
