Hood Bonbright Co Dry Goods Invoice Philadelphia 1874 Handwritten Receipt. This is an original 19th century handwritten business invoice from Hood, Bonbright & Co., importers and jobbers of dry goods based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The document is dated December 6, 1874 and was issued to B. Collier & Son of Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, featuring elegant Victorian printed typography combined with period handwritten entries recording goods, quantities, prices, and totals. The billhead lists the firm’s Market Street and Filbert Street addresses and includes original payment notation indicating the account was paid by check on December 31, 1874. The paper exhibits authentic age related wear including folds, toning, staining, surface losses, and paper abrasion on the reverse, all consistent with genuine 19th century commercial use. This is a strong and visually appealing piece of American business ephemera ideal for collectors of antique invoices, dry goods trade history, Philadelphia merchant material, or Victorian era paper documents.
