The printed header on each billhead reads, "Baker and Hamilton, Importers, Jobbers and Manufacturers of Hardware, Agricultural Implements and Vehicles. Manufactory, Benicia, California.

Baker and Hamilton was a mining, hardware, and agricultural supply company. It was founded during the California Gold Rush by Livingston Baker, of Boston, and Robert Hamilton, of Scotland. Baker and Hamilton both left for California in 1849. That same year, Baker and Hamilton met in the gold fields of California and began working for a man named Colonel J. L. L. F. Warren who had opened a mining and agricultural supply store on the American River. In 1853, Baker and Hamilton bought Warren's firm. Their company became a success due to mining and agriculture being two leading industries in California at the time. They later opened a San Francisco location in 1867 or 1868 and became one of the most successful agricultural supply businesses in the West.…
