And the shipping for all of it was only $6.00. Today when you have a pair of wool gloves shipped to you, you pay more than that.Thanks, Mom, for this. It boggles my mind that you can find this sort of document after all these years.

Esteemed order
Here is the invoice for the esteemed order of the ivory chess set, the concentric ball, Poss's Buddha, and more. It's hard to imagine that the chess set cost only $139.00 (even in 1969 dollars). I'm glad that they substituted the thicker quality chess set.

This document will be useful when you take the stuff to Antiques Roadshow.
According to an Inflation Calculator I found,
the cost in current dollars (well, in 2006 dollars) would be $949.78 for the merchandise and $33.59 for shipping.
Darn, I didn't embed the link right.

BTW, The chess set itself would cost $778.18 in 2006.
