Some rare, collector spoons I'm currently listing. Here is some history: Watch Hill is in Washington County. In the Providence-New Bedford metro area. In the 1600's. The Niantics, a Narragansett Indian Tribe, lived on this beautiful piece of land. The colonists used it as a lookout point during the French and Revolutionary wars. As a result this lookout post was named Watch Hill. In the 19th century, the Federal government bought the land for $500,000. In 1806, the famous Watch Hill Lighthouse was built. About 90 years later, Jonathan Nash, one of Stan's ancestors, the village's first lighthouse keeper, started to rent rooms in his house, and so the first hotel was born. With the extension of the railroad from Boston to neighboring Stonington, in the late 1830's, developers realized that the area, with its natural beauty, could be a prime resort. By the turn of the century, there were seven sumptuous hotels on the water's edge. Also, at this time the first"summer cottages" were built by a syndicate of Cincinnati industrialists. By 1920, most of the Watch Hill cottages that stand today had been constructed by people from such places as Philadelphia and St. Louis Watch Hill, situated at the southwest tip of Rhode Island on

There is often notations indicating that the account was settled. Typical entries include- sales of sundries, sugar, bleached cotton, boots, tea, soady" crackers, meal, soap, molasses, fluid“ bitters, tobacco, elastic suspenders, payment for a days work, etc. etc. etc. This wonderful. Pre Civil war Dry Goods/ General Store Ledger gives a fantastic insight into life in a small Rhode Island- the interactions between customers and the all important Dry Goods Store proprietor.
