Description
Original bill of lading dated March 27, 1849, documenting a coastal voyage from Boston to New York aboard the schooner Homer. The shipment records 766 bars of copper consigned to Phelps Dodge & Co., with freight rates and Boston wharfage charges noted. The document is signed by John Nickerson, master of the schooner. Period ink on a printed form. Expected folds, edge wear, and light toning consistent with age. Handwriting remains strong and fully legible. Docketed on the verso with shipment details and date. A scarce example of mid-19th-century American maritime and commercial ephemera, especially notable for its early copper cargo and named consignee. 🏠Helping special treasures find their new homes.

This was a great experience with this seller in every way. The shipping was very fast and reasonable and arrived in great condition, as promised. I would highly recommend this seller to anyone interested in purchasing this type of product and I personally will most likely repeat business with them again. I strongly suggest you contact them and give them a try, you will not regret it, I certainly have not!!!!!
I absolutely love the painting! It arrived packaged perfectly and in better condition than described in the listing. The seller coordinated shipping and went through a great deal of turmoil in orchestrating the whole thing due to its size. Overall, I am so pleased with the product and customer service received.
One of the best eBay sellers I've had the privilege to work with. Thoughtful, great and timely communication, and generous. The items were perfectly and safely packaged, shipped and arrived on time. The value for this lot was fantastic. I would count myself privileged to work with this seller again. A+++++
