Some early US billheads

On ebay last week was a really neat group of 4 early U.S. billheads. I really would have liked to have had the funds to add to my collection, but maybe if I had a healthy dog I could have. I thought the end price was cheap about $140 = $35 a piece. These billheads are hard to come by and each had graphics on them too - even harder to find in pre-1840 billheads. Here are some pictures of them. The one I was drooling over was the Bartlett & Brewer.

Hello,

My name is Claire Marshall, and I'm with the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce. I'm currently working on a project detailing the history of the Chamber, which is turning 150 this fall. You're probably wondering why I'm contacting you. Well, on Nov. 13th, 2008, you posted a lovely billhead of John Nazro's hardware store. The Chamber's original constitution was drawn up in that hardware store. If at all possible, I am seeking your permission to use that photograph for an photographic outline to be displayed in our offices in downtown Milwaukee. Feel free to contact me at pmarsh@mmac.org. Thank you!

Australian Billheads

As promised from by last post, here are some examples of Australian billheads I found on the website Print and Printmaking Australia Asia Pacific . Based on the Australian print collection at the National Gallery of Australia there is free online access to over 22,000 images. The databases can be searched by artist, subject or print techniques such as etching, woodcut, wood-engraving, linocut, lithograph, screenprint, monotype and other print related processes such as posters and artists books. Index to online information on printmakers, print workshops, print publishers, print galleries and public and private collections.

CAPEWELL HORSE NAIL COMPANY

I regularly purchase goods and paper at a local online auction. In December, I noticed that a lot of random estate / household goods also had a small pile of what looked to be calendars. I won the lot and sure enough it included many advertising calendars. Many of those were for the Capewell Horse Nail Company of Hartford Connecticut. These calendars were damaged, but the color and graphics were still very bright. Last week, I happened on a lot of paper through ebay that included a billhead for the company. Attached are photos of all for your enjoyment.

Rubber Goods

The rubber industry in the United States can hardly be said to have had any real and tangible existence until the discovery of the process of vulcanization in 1844 by Charles Goodyear. The first rubber ever imported into this country was brought into Boston in the year 1800 and came in In that same year a patent was granted to one Jacob Hummel, of Philadelphia, for a gum-elastic varnish; of which, however, there seems to have been no further mention. Some ten years later, in 1823, a Boston sea-captain, coming from South American ports, brought with him a pair of gilded rubber shoes which excited the greatest interest. Two years later, 500 pairs of rubber shoes, made by the natives along the Amazon, were brought into Boston, this time without the fantastical refinement of gilding. They were exceedingly thick, clumsy, and unshapely shoes, and yet they sold readily, bringing from $3 to $5 per pair as they were found that they were a secure protection against dampness. This was the e...
