Fragmentary Aged Trade Items List Remains
A garbled OCR list shows assorted goods with pricing hints including eyes per dozen, turkey references, leaf items, wrappers, and finishes. Notable terms include mountain butter and mahogany wrappers, with scattered pricing such as 20.00 and vague descriptors like good red and bright fanc. The text reads like a deteriorated catalog fragment with mixed product names and incomplete figures.
