Invoice Buick Oldsmobile Oakland MA. This original early 20th-century automobilia billhead document was issued by the Lowell Automobile Company of Lowell, Massachusetts—dealers in high-grade Buick, Oldsmobile, and Oakland automobiles. Dated June 1, 1911, the handwritten invoice itemizes various garage services and supplies, including charges for gasoline, "1 set Shock Absorbers," a "Tube Plug," labor, and a "34x4 Shoe" (tire), complete with a blue rubber ink payment stamp reading "LOWELL AUTOMOBILE CO. PAID 6-5-11". Featuring prominent red typography highlighting early American automotive brass-era marques alongside local Massachusetts business history, this invoice carries strong collector appeal for automotive historians, early gas and oil ephemera collectors, and regional New England specialists.

Wright, President; Lowell, MA), dated June 1911, printed ink on ledger paper with handwritten manuscript entries and hand-stamped ink seal, measures approximately 8.5 x 14 inches. Displays expected signs of age including two small original green binder ring punch holes at the top margin, subtle uniform paper toning, light edge creasing, and minor fold lines, though the paper stock remains clean with legible handwriting and crisp letterhead typography; no major tears, heavy staining, or missing paper loss observed.
