[JPK Huson 1863]

This is ridiculous. I was seriously trying to track down Brown and McCoy Pottery's origins in Roseville, Ohio, have had a thread half completed forever and ever. KEEP getting distracted with these, gave up, logged in to leave them here.

Just love thinking about our ladies scanning the ads before shopping. Some are hysterical- little ' forward ' for the mid-1800's?

From 1836!

1853, whew?

1859, you can't quite tell what exactly he is selling

1859

1862

This is from Hawaii, of all places, 1863

1836!!

Ouch. 1853

Also 1853, must have been on to something in New Orleans.

1859

1864. There seems to have been a lot of biliousness in 1864, that bitters ad was one of many.

Never ran across these before? Like a puttee for women and children? 1962

1864, loved the copywriter.

1864

1863. Love this one because my grgrgrandfather lists a billiard table on his taxes for 1863- at Caspari's House in DC. He kept the place at the time, must have had to buy his own tables.
