Nice 1840s Canandaigua, NY Watch Paper by Oscar E. Sibley
$25.00
Offered is a nice watch paper from the 1840s, made for and used by Canandaigua, New York watchmaker and jeweler Oscar E. Sibley. The paper bears a date of May 7, 1847 on the back, presumably the date he serviced a watch. This watch paper, done in orange paper with a black design, is still in the shape of the watch body, and is in decent condition though crumpled and split at the edges as these typically are. It measures around 1 7/8 inches across. All in all a nice example of ephemera relating to a successful jeweler from whom marked coin silver spoons are often seen!
