Vintage albumen print showing the oil derricks and pump house of Benninghoff Run an important early oil field in Pennsylvania's Oil Creek Valley. The site's Ocean Well dug in 1865 was the first to prove that oil could be extracted from hilly terrain. Benninghoff Run was the scene of violence when teamsters angered over loss of work attempted to destroy the pipeline that comission dealer Henry Harvey built from Benninghoff Run to tanks at the Shaffer railroad two miles away. The right-of-way of the Benninghoff-Shaffer pipeline can be seen in this image as a white streak extending vertically from the fields to the hill in the distance cf. www.petroleumhistory.org. unknown

1865List2532New York: Wm. A. Pond 1865. Folio 13 ½ x 10 ½ inches. Fine condition. Fine. An unusual use of sheet music as satire with the lithographed cover showing a fake stock certificate. The cover - engraved by Major & Knapp - advertises an ownership share in the Spondolix Petroleum company and states that F.B. Helmsmuller who was actually a noted composer was the “Treasurer and General Manager†of the company. This is a particularly fine example of the piece. In our research we found several references to this piece as being a real stock certificate for a real company however this is clearly a parody of the oil business. This was printed in 1865 when the Pennsylvania oil industry was booming and the engraved illustration appears to show a countryside scene in Pennsylvania or somewhere similar. Four copies in OCLC. Wm. A. Pond unknown

1900569Boston 1900. Very good. 4pp. on a bifolium. Quarto. Previously folded. Light wear along old folds and a couple of short closed tears at lower edge. Rare illustrated prospectus for the potentially fraudulent Bernalillo Oil Company based in Boston and San Diego at the turn of the 20th century. The text promises astounding returns stating that "Few in the East appreciate the stupendous nature of this great industrial awakening and the unparalleled opportunity it affords for large profits on even limited investments." The promoters further advise readers to send away for more complete information about the company's holdings and business plans and provides a list of references to contact for confirmation of their bona fides. Strangely despite its extensive endorsement of the oil industry in California the land it advertises is 6400 acres in New Mexico between Fort Wingate and the Navajo Reservation as is the town of Bernalillo. A 1905 article in the business periodical United States Investor cast serious doubt on the venture writing in response to a query about the trustworthiness of the company that "The stocks have no market value and intrinsically they are not believed to be worth more than the paper they are printed on." We locate only one copy at Yale. unknown books

1845fremont1845house<p>First House edition of this famous report. 1845. Complete in original binding except for the gigantic map which is available in full size color thick glossy paper professional reproduction $25 extra if desired. Pagination: 583 pages 22 plates 4 maps all blanks present. Includes fascinating pencil diagram of oil rig on back of map. Oil rig drawing titled "Sheffield Oil Company. Warren Co. Pa." That pencil drawing is the only interior writing or ownership marking anywhere in the book. Condition is a mixed bag. Original half leather marbled boards show heavy wear and looks like they were professionally rehinged in the distant past. Binding is sound. Pages show moderate to heavy toning and foxing. Some plates have weird 'dot' foxing I have never seen elsewhere see scan. Marbled endpapers. A nice well maintained copy suitable for reading and research with a cool drawing. Howes F372; Wagner-Camp 115:2; Graff 1436. House Doc. No. 166. Feel free to inquire. Please see scans of the book you will receive. Note: the large map published in 1845 was the road map people used in the gold rush of 1849. It was routinely extracted hence its rare nature. Map is 52 x 32 inches. Furthermore I do not believe map was issued with all House editions which contributes even more to its scarcity. Map is sufficiently large that if it had ever been present there would be evidence of removal. No evidence it was ever in this volume.</p> House of Representatives. Blair and Rives. hardcover

1900233021900. Massachusetts oil delivery photographs documenting the horse drawn transport system that moved petroleum products through small town New England before motor trucks displaced wagon distribution. Images depict oil wagons teamsters and tank rigs tied to local commercial delivery via horse and carriage. The turn of the century marked an industrial boom when kerosene lubricants and other oil products circulated through growing towns. This archive shows how it's its daily movement still relied on animal power and local hand delivery.<br /> Photo archive of 5 albumen and silver gelatin photographs and one RPCC photos measuring about 3.5" x 5" with various sized mounts Ashfield Massachusetts circa 1900-15. Three photographs bear photographer credit on the reverse to A.W. & G.E. Howes Ashfield Mass. One view shows a line of horse drawn tank wagons posed along an unpaved street before frame houses and utility poles with drivers seated in their rigs and teams held in place for a group portrait; the company is identified as Consumers Oil Company as visible on one of the carriages. A second image shows a single horse and tank wagon before a brick commercial building painted "UNION GARAGE" linking oil delivery by wagon to the emerging repair and automobile service trade. Two photographs are duplicate prints of the same scene each showing a man beside a white horse and covered oil wagon while a child sits on the driver's seat beneath the canopy; the man holds a metal can and partial wagon lettering ending in "OIL CO." is visible on the side. Another photograph shows a two horse team hitched to a larger wagon with partial company lettering also ending in "OIL CO." <br /> Massachusetts was deeply tied to the early oil economy not as a major drilling region but as a refining shipping storage and consumption market linked to the industrial Northeast. By the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries petroleum products moved into the state through rail and coastal trade then outward through local dealers who supplied homes shops farms garages and machinery with kerosene fuel and lubricants. These photographs place that distribution system at ground level in Ashfield where horses still pulled the wagons that served an industry increasingly associated with mechanization and the rise of motor transport. Light fading and surface wear throughout; several mounts chipped at corners and edges; one of the duplicate pair having a 1.5" chip to the right side of the mount. Photos mostly show no signs of loss though the sepia photograph on the largest mount has a small chip to edge and a 0.5" tear to left side where horse's face is. Overall good condition. A compact Massachusetts record of the petroleum trade at the moment when horse drawn delivery and automotive modernity still occupied the same street. unknown

An illustration on the first page shows the different sizes of the Gargling Oil offered by the company the product suitable "for man or beast." John Hodge Secretary and Manager of Merchant's Gargling Oil advertises the publication of the company's almanac produced with "handsomely lithographed covers larger pages and containing some new departments notably the one indicated in its title- that of Dream and Fate."

Printed on the two internal pages are card samples to choose from allowing for the name and address of the dealer to be printed on the almanacs ordered. The final page requests the dealer fill out shipping directions. This copy is unused. Merchant's Gargling Oil was created by Dr. George Merchant of Lockport New York in 1833 according to an article written by Doug Farley director of the Erie Canal Discovery Center in 2008. Although it was called a 'gargling oil' it was primarily intended for external use as a liniment. The city of Lockport was located along the route of the Erie Canal and Merchant's liniment found a market with the canallers and their horses and mules. By the time John Hodge joined the company in the late 1850s it was a very successful enterprise. He was a master at marketing and advertising producing almanacs notebooks circulars and placing ads in numerous publications for his product. see a brief biography of the company in the Atwater catalogue Vol. 2 p. 48. <br/><br/> unknown books
