A scarce and visually appealing August 16, 1877 invoice from Oliver Eaton’s Livery Stable in Rockville, Connecticut, documenting carriage and team hire services for Mr. E. J. Smith. Measuring approximately 7 x 8.5 inches, the piece features a bold illustrated letterhead of a horse and carriage—an excellent example of period commercial design tied to transportation before the automobile era.

The invoice lists multiple services across 1877, including trips to Stafford, Ellington, Bolton, and other nearby towns, with detailed charges for teams, rides, and excursions. The total appears to be $42.50, reflecting substantial usage—likely by a businessman or local resident requiring frequent travel.

The reverse includes handwritten notes referencing account settlement (“Received Pay by endorsement on mortgage note”), adding another layer of financial and historical context. Oliver Eaton is named prominently, and the location is specified as near Belding Bros. Mill, tying the document to a known industrial hub in Rockville.

This is a strong piece for collectors of early transportation history, Connecticut ephemera, or genealogy—especially with the named client E. J. Smith and clearly documented regional travel routes.
