[QUOTE="Batman_2000, post: 9857677, member: 481"]Just thought I’d share my latest finds. Two old ledgers I picked up at a market (UK) this weekend. They may be related to one another, I don’t know for sure. I only know they were together when I bought them. The smaller one dates from the 1870s and contains some entries in script style handwriting. There’s even the old blotting paper still in the book. Most of the pages contain a 1940s diary though, written in pencil. I’m including the entry for VJ Day. Interestingly I haven’t found any other entries yet that mention WWII. The larger book is a catalogue of In Memoriam cards which obviously require research! I just love objects like this, there’s so much history to explore.
