Condition Grade: Very Good (Vintage/Antique).

Condition Assessment: The paper cardstock and ledger sheets remain structurally clean and free of heavy creasing, though the receipt book displays natural uniform age-toning, faint edge discoloration, and is missing its very first page, receipt number 1.

Dimensions: The lot includes the shipping tag measuring 3.25 by 6.25 inches and the receipt book measuring approximately 3.75 by 7 inches.

Markings and Features: This two-piece franchise lot features a localized Paper Hardware Receipt Book from merchant R.C. Bailey in Machias, Maine, alongside an unused Frank Barrett Paper Shipping Tag from Wenona, Illinois, both displaying crisp, bold 1920s typography layouts.

Completeness: This lot is complete as a two-item compilation of original standalone Winchester retail store ephemera, consisting strictly of the receipt pad and shipping tag without any accompanying retail envelopes or original factory boxes.

Historical Background: Distributed by franchised dealers across Maine and Illinois during the 1920s, this rare grouping dates to the short-lived post-WWI era when the Winchester Repeating Arms Company created a nationwide retail hardware network to sustain its massive factory production lines
