19th century American gold and black embossed eagle label, 1800 - 1899

 Item — Box: 1, Folder: 5

Scope and Contents

Such labels were often used for textiles, but there is no space for a yard/price to be written, so the use of this label remains uncertain. At the base of the plinth there is semi-legible lettering which seems to say “Wilterry’s Co. - Providence”.
