Wheeler-Wilson Co-Savannah Ga-LH-Cover
Item #: NEW-0014360
|
Click image to enlarge
|
This letterhead and cover are dated July 10th 1876. It has had some moisture damage evidenced by some rippling on both items. There is slight running of the ink on the letter. The cover has staining on the front and back. This Wheeler & Wilson Manufacturing company is not a maker of sewing machines. According to my research on the web, this company in Savannah produced tobacco. According to this link: http://www.floridamemory.com/items/show/29289, the company was moved to Macon Georgia shortly after this letter was written due to the Yellow Fever epidemic in Savannah. The proprietor was W B Cleves and he wrote this letter in July of 1876 and the company was moved in September. I have been unable with my brief research to learn the history of the company when they moved to Macon.

Sulphate of Quinia Bottle-Powers & Weightman
Item #: NEW-0013695
|
Click image to enlarge
|
Vintage bottle which measures three and a half inches tall. Hair line fracture running from the right bottom edge of the paper label to the mid back of the bottle. See second scan. I can see some imperfections in the bottle which may mean it was hand blown. Bottles are not an area of expertise to me. I was told that it was a Civil War era bottle. There is a history on the web about Weightman, who was a prominent chemical manufacturer. Powers joined him in 1814. This concoction was used to treat "typhus" fever. This would be a nice item for a medical collector.

Deadwood Dakota Territory-Merchants Hotel
Item #: NEW-0013227
|
Click image to enlarge
|
There are three letters from the 1880s in this lot, one written by E G Hayes to his wife at the Merchants Hotel in St. Paul Minnesota. and the other two from the Merchant's Hotel in Deadwood, D T. The graphic letter sheets showing the hotel was the letter addressed to the wife and is seven pages long. The advertising cover is from the Hotel in Deadwood. The cancel is indistinct but presumably from Deadwood. The content of all three letters (four pages) is regarding the struggles of E G Hayes to bring his ill son home. He was a soldier at Fort Meade. He was able to do some sight seeing while attempting to go to Fort Meade. ""visiting the large gold quartz mills here to day. Some of them the largest in the world and gold quartz in the hills here to? twenty five such mills running for one hundred years. There is now thirteen mills running five new ones building within four miles of Deadwood, turning out from 25 ? $125.00 per month for each mill. The Terry Mills pays profit from all expenses of $75.00 per month."
His travel plans involved taking a stage to Bismark and then from there on a stage to Fort Meade (a distance of 280 miles by stage according to Hayes) . "I found Joseph in the hospital helpless by permission from the Dakota Department I will undertake to move him from Fort Meade to Fort Lincoln 280 miles by stage and if possible will get permission to bring him home from Fort Lincoln if he can stand the ride though General Sturgis promised to detail assistance in getting him through if I can engage a stage for the purpose to Lincoln"..." I don't know if he can stand it or not as his case is a bad one and no hopes for him here as is the opinion of Dr. Wilson Post Surgeon of Fort Meade..."
"Fort Meade is beautifully located at the foot of the black hills near Bane Butte (?) pyramid. Deadwood is located in the mountains and very romantic but full of people and teams."
The fate of Joseph Hayes is unknown to me.E.G. Hayes was the President of the Lawrenceburg Indiana National Bank.
I have not shown a scan of the third letter which is on the same advertising lettersheet from Deadwood. There is only one cover in the lot.
