BIOGRAPHICAL
STATEMENT
John Balthazar Dash was an
importer and seller of hardware in New York City; his store was located at the
corner of Liberty Street and Broadway.
His father, also John B. Dash (1727-1804), was a tinsmith. The hardware merchant married Ann Bowie, and
they had a son Daniel Bowie Dash (1792-1836), who entered his father’s
business. (An invoice dated 1812 is
addressed to Dash alone; the next invoice is dated 1815 and is addressed to
John B. Dash & Son.) Daniel’s son,
John B. Dash (1818-1888), also became a hardware merchant.
SCOPE AND
CONTENT
Daybook and invoice book
kept by John B. Dash, and then by the firm John B. Dash & Son, hardware
merchants in New York City. The daybook
entries, on pages 2-111, are dated June 1, 1796-May 7, 1798. These are followed by copies of invoices
numbered 115-310, dated May 7, 1801-July 10, 1812, and April 21, 1815-August 1,
1820. The invoices give an excellent
idea of the kinds of imported goods being stocked by a hardware merchant in New
York City in the first quarter of the 19th century.
The daybook entries list
the customer’s name, the purchases made, and the prices charged. (The number next to each customer is a
reference to another volume, not held by this repository.) Customers purchased nails, screws, brads,
hinges, brass handles, pulleys, garden rakes, locks, latches, files,
escutcheons, sets of tin plate tools, hammers, anvils, etc. Sometimes the item is further described, such
as book case locks or till locks, clasp nails or lath nails. Also purchased were fish skins, sandpaper,
sash line, iron rods, sheets of tin and copper, wire, glass (probably panes of
glass), iron dogs (perhaps andirons), etc.
Dash’s customers included Aaron Burr (who bought lots of locks), William
Bayard, Duncan Phyfe (spelled Fife), as well as builders, blacksmiths, other
merchants and manufacturers, a theater, and the Tontine Hotel. Most prices are in pounds, shillings, and
pence, but a few are in dollars and cents.
The invoices (1801-1812,
1815-1829) list the items being shipped from England, the unit and total
prices, from where shipped, the name of the ship on which the goods were
shipped and its captain, and charges for shipping, export duties, and
insurance. Sometimes the ship was noted
as being American. Most of the invoices
are more than one page n length. Goods
were purchased from merchants in Bristol, Wolverhampton, Sheffield, and
Birmingham. The goods were shipped
chiefly from Bristol or Liverpool, but also Hull and London. The invoices give more description of the
goods than found in the daybook records.
For example, whereas in the daybook, a customer was charged with buying
screws, the invoices list the different sizes of screws being shipped. Planes, chisels, blue pots, crucibles, Turkey
oil stones, flour of emery, oyster knives, curtain rings, wire gauges, japanned
chamber sticks, brass chains and kettles, and dozens and dozens, if not
hundreds, of other kinds of goods were being sent from England to John B. Dash
or to John B. Dash & Son. The
invoices sometimes included additional information from the manufacturer, such
as explaining that it was cheaper to ship out of one port than another. At least one such note mentioned that an
embargo made it difficult to ship goods.
Of course, a gap in the invoices occurs between July 1812 and April 1815.
ORGANIZATION
Entries
are in chronological order.
The volume was rebound at
some point in the 20th century, and now begins with page 2. The binding is half black morocco, with cloth
covers. Spine label reads Journal
1796/(C.B. Day 1894). Binding has been
attributed to master binder Charlotte Ullman.
Paper is ruled for
accounts; it is watermarked J Whatman 1794; some pages have been mended. The last one hundred pages or so are
blank. Written on the last leaf: “[?]
C[?] B. Day, January 1894, Rud. Reiner Jr., Brooklyn, N.Y., Jan. 10,
1894.” Two scraps of brown wrapping
paper have been attached to one of modern fly leaves. One reads “Old Journal, 1796,” and the other
“For Mrs. Miller, Carl Rhinelander Realty Co., [with New York address], From
[illegible], Hotel St. Regis, 5th Ave., N.Y.”
