Up for bid on eBay is this original 1784 manuscript
tax receipt from the Western Massachusetts town of Hatfield.
The seller says, "This important 18th century document was penned in Hatfield on August 30th, 1784. Handwritten receipt was issued 'for the Payment of what is commonly called the first morety [i.e., moiety] of the Continental Tax.'
The seller adds, "To pay this controversial tax, Rev War veteran Col. Seth Murray, a Hatfield resident, was forced to part with 'one yoke of Oxen, one Cow, two two year old Heifers, one other Cow, two yearling Steers, and one yoke of three year old Steers'. Document prepared and signed by Salmon West, Constable of Hatfield. The notorious Continental Tax impoverished many Western Massachusetts farmers and lead to Shays' Rebellion two years later, nearly to the day. Manuscript is attractively framed along with separate clipped sheet brandishing calligraphic printed statement: 'High, unfair taxes after the Revolutionary War could not be met by many small property owners. In Sept. 1786, Daniel Shays led 600 men to Springfield in protest. Skirmishes lasted until Feb. 2, 1787, with the defeat of the rebels by Major Gen. Benjamin Lincoln. The uprising hastened a stronger central government and adoption of the Constitution to suppress uprising & improve economic conditions.'"
Shays' Rebellion was an armed uprising in Central and Western Massachusetts from 1786 to 1787, named after Revolutionary War veteran Daniel Shays.

Up for auction is an extremely rare, first-print posterfor the Acid Test with the Grateful Dead in 1966.
The seller says, "This is the Poster that started it all. This is the Holy Grail! The Grateful Dead's very first appearance on a Rock and Roll Poster. These posters were made starting on Dec. 11, for Muir Beach, then used again for Palo Alto on Dec. 18, The Fillmore Jan. 8., and now, I suspect, as well, they were used for Portland at Beaver Hall on Jan 15, because this poster was removed from a wall of the San Carlos apartments, which are exactly seven miles from Beaver Hall in Portland."
The seller continues, "It is likely this poster was taken home from the event that night. It's the only one to turn up from the Oregon area, in all these years. This is one of the few exisiting known White versions. Out of the three colors, goldenrod, white and blue, white appears to be the most difficult to find in any condition. This one was recently 'rescued' from the moist atmosphere of Portland Oregon. I drove up to buy it myself, and the elderly couple who possessed it had held onto it for a number of years. The lady of the couple had removed it from a wall of an apartment she moved into in 1971. She had it framed a few years later and has had it the entire time."
