I’ve found a lot of documents in our 1856 house in the attic - there was a fire sometime around 1900, and it’s all just been left up there. The ash created an oxygen seal for the documents the fire didn’t destroy.

One document is a boot price list for 1889, Pittsburgh…and it seems really pricey. $40-50 for boots, back then! I can’t tell if it’s a lot price or what…just seems odd. Can you give me any context? I can’t seem to include the images here, but they’re in my post history, last post.
