A few weeks ago we had some fun one afternoon looking at this sale bill we found among some documents that recently arrived in the Bullis Room. Especially interesting to us was the list of merchandise for auction and the little details such as terms of sale.
We were also interested to see that auctions (excluding those online) continue to be about the same today as they were way back in 1867.
Can we conclude, from this, that some things never change? (We'd like to think so.)
Hope you enjoy the photo of the sale bill. The real article is in the Bullis Room, if you'd like a closer look.
