Wonderful good 1909-1911 New Hampshire Blacksmith Ledger

This is an absolutely fantastic piece of turn of the century New England history! It is a ledger that was kept by a blacksmith who worked in Jaffrey, New Hampshire. The entries in this ledger date from December, 1909 and go through all of 1910, culminating in early April of 1911. I was absolutely fascinated by the beautifully hand written entries in script which detail the names of the blacksmith's customers and what sort of products and or repairs were done. What I found very sweet was the fact that in many entries where the blacksmith performed shoeing for horses, he actually has written the names of the horses that he serviced. The likes of Nell, Dick, Bess, Luke and Jim and Twinkle were some of his equine customers. Besides shoeing, there is mention of repairs to wagons, braces on carts, axe hanging, shaft couplings, repair of wheels, repair of chains, repair of snow roller, welding a poker, new cross bar, hinges, etc. etc. There is even the mention of an occasional auto being repaired. This was the time in which automobiles were just beginning to appear in small town America. The name of the blacksmith is EA Coburn. His signature is on the first inside page. This ledger is hard covered and still all intact. There are no missing or torn pages. The cover does show stains and dirt, though. A rare window into the life of a small New England village's good blacksmith during the turn of the Twentieth Century just before his eventual disappearance.
