A Fascinating Record of Whiskey Distilling and Lead Processing in New York City in the Mid-1860s [Manuscript]. [Snow, Walter P.]. [Expenditures of a Whiskey Distillery and a Lead Processing Plant in New York Owned by Walter B. Snow]. [New York, January 1, 1863]. 4 pp. 16-1/2" x 6-3/4" (41.9 x 17.2 cm) bifolium, docketed on verso of second leaf, docket reads: "Expenditures/ of estate of Walter B. Snow/ at 100 east 31st st./ New York." Moderate toning, negligible light soiling, six horizontal fold lines. A well-preserved item. $350. * A fascinating piece of New York City's industrial heritage, this rare manuscript offers a meticulous window into the industrial landscape of New York City during the Civil War. Spanning January 1860 to January 1863, this document provides an exhaustive account of the dual enterprises of Mr. Snow: an established white lead plant and an emerging whiskey distillery. The Lead Works: Entries detail the procurement of lead and chemical reagents, illustrating the operations of a mature 19th-century manufacturing plant serving the paint and putty industries. The Distillery: In contrast, the ledgers capture the birth of a new venture. Detailed expenses for stills, storage tanks, and specialized equipment document the distillery's assembly. Notably, records of whiskey barrel purchases suggest Snow was actively blending or wholesaling spirits alongside his own production. A vital primary resource for historians of manufacturing in New York City.
