diary no
I was given this original 1924 diary recently.
The centrefold is not as sexy as some, but I appreciate it anyway.
There are no entries made anywhere.
The front page has been carefully cut out. If anyone can post a square on photo of an original, I'd like to try to replace the front pages.

Re: diary no
I wonder if the front page had a dealer's ad?

Re: diary no
It would appear to be a Ford publication. This is the back page.
I would expect there to be a heading page at the front, perhaps with space for a dealer's stamp.
I found this inside. Perhaps it is just a Canadian publication.

Re: diary no
Interesting that the dung beetle logo is still being used.

Re: diary no
A previous post told the story of the explanation of the pyramid & the scarab beetle. That beetle is also known as a dung beetle. When someone pointed this out to Henery, Henry had this symbol removed from the dealers.
I believe the story came from the post on the new Ford EV symbol.
Now thats funny.

Re: diary no
If that story is true, then farmer's fried Henry must have been ignorant of the beneficial of dung beetles

Re: diary no
So the purpose of the Ford “diary” was a maintence and service log? Seems that way.
