Records, 1855-1973.

The records of Francis Bannerman Sons are typical of a small family business in their lack of formal structure. Basically, they document Bannerman's purchase of military goods from state and federal arsenals and their resale to individuals, with other regular purchases of arms and military antiques made on buying trips to Europe. General account books that would show the performance of the business as a whole are either missing or were never kept at all.
