About this Item

This printed and filled in watchmaker's ledger spans a decade of business from 1883 through 1895, and consists of his detailed business accounting, with 129 pages, of the 200 bound pages, filled in. Manuscript notations fill in the printed places for detailed information on each repair transaction on every pocket watch that was serviced. Information on each watch included customer's name, class of movement and number of movement, number and type of metal of each case, type of repair, cost of the repair, and price of watches sold. A rich source on American horology and business history. Original folio ledger, measuring 13" X 8." Unrecorded in OCLC, and completely absent from the trade and any standard bibliographies. Leather spine is worn and chipped, hinges cracked at front and rear. Scattered staining to text, although generally quite clean. Binding is still secure and sound, text block solid.
