145 YEARS OLD!! This rare and historical receipt from 1881 is an authentic piece of American correspondence from the pre-1900 era. It was manufactured in the United States by F.W. Carlisle & Co, a tanning company located in East Saginaw, Michigan. The receipt is addressed to \"A Bauer\" and dated January 6th, 1881, making it a unique and valuable item for collectors of vintage paper and correspondence! The receipt is signed by Mr. Carlisle himself, the owner of the business, in settlement of the account to date for Mr. Bauer in the amount of $50.99. This bustling business at the time, I\'m sure, dealt in leather, hides, pelt, wool, and tallow, according to the receipt, and was located at 128 North Water Street, East Saginaw, Michigan. Even the receipt itself was printed by \"Seemann & Peters, City Printers, E. Sag.\"
The receipt is in used condition with some small tears and folds around the edges as seen in the pictures, but its historical significance and authenticity make it a must-have for any serious collector of pre-1900 American memorabilia. Its detailed information about the goods sold and the price paid provide a fascinating insight into the economic and social conditions of the time.

This has been personally owned by me for about the last 25 years, as I am originally from Saginaw. From a smoke-free household.
