Description
1874 Beaver Meadow Pennsylvania Handwritten Receipt Samuel Heller Penrose. Original handwritten receipt dated May 30, 1874 from Beaver Meadow Pennsylvania, documenting a purchase by W Samuel Heller with items noted including knives and forks, molasses, salt, and sugar, totaling four dollars and thirty four cents. The receipt references N H Penrose and reflects everyday goods and transactions typical of rural Pennsylvania commerce in the 19th century. Written in ink on paper with clear period script, the document provides insight into household and supply purchases of the era. The piece shows expected age related wear including fold lines, light staining, and some fading on the reverse, but remains legible and intact. A strong example of Pennsylvania ephemera with appeal to collectors of early American manuscripts, general store history, and Heller family genealogy. P344
