Side-by-side shotgun pictorial vignette on letterhead about the sale of weapon to a sheriff
This is a fabulous and frustrating page two of a two page document. We know that this is a letter acknowledging the sale of arms to a sheriff C. H. Davey(?) for use in the sheriff's office. (Was this gun control 130 years ago?). The company is also promoting their polished hand cuffs and leg irons for $49.27. The letterhead is from Hubbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co. on Lake and Wabash Streets in Chicago. A wonderful pictorial vignette of a rifle graces the page. It is frustrating because we can not pinpoint the location of the sale. It does comes in a sheet with a Utah Territory label?
