"Enos Doolittle" American Silversmith and Clockmaker Set of Bills of Exchange from Commissioner of the Loan Office
ENOS DOOLITTLE (1751-1806). American Silversmith, Watch, Bell founder, and Clockmaker.
November 11, 1779-Dated Revolutionary War Period, Partially-Printed Document Signed, "Enos Doolittle," 1 page, 8" x 4.25". Hartford (CT.), Very Fine. This Document reads, in part: "RECEIVED of JOHN LAWRENCE, Commissioner of the Loan Office for the State of Connecticut, One Set of Bills of Exchange for Seventy four dollars it being interest arisen on one Continental certificate in favour of Mr. George Butler Dated June 12th 1777 from 12 June 1778 to the 12 of June 1779... (Signed) Enos Doolittle." Enos Doolittle, a nephew of printer and clockmaker Isaac Doolittle, made and repaired clocks and compasses in Hartford, Connecticut. In addition, he also produced bells in partnership with Jesse Goodyear.
ENOS DOOLITTLE (1751-1806), working as silversmith, but principally as watch, clockmaker, and bell founder (1772-90). He advertised in the Hartford, Connecticut Courant Sept. 4, 1775, continued clockmaking and repairing watches: "...shop north of Messrs Hudson & Goodwin's Printing Office." Apparently few ads referred to his work as a silversmith. One recorded, Dec. 5, 1780, "... gold necklaces, silver shoe and knee buckles, stone sleeve buttons ..."; in other ads in 1784 and 1785 noted services as a watchmaker.
In brass foundry business in 1787; advertised in 1790, as Doolittle & Goodyear, bell founders, in shop on west side of Main St. This partnership was dissolved in 1791. Continued under his own name. Advertised for an apprentice Nov. 3, 1794. Retired in 1802.
