    Description

    Perfect for a collector of vintage ledgers or ledger paper or for a junk journal crafter!
    This amazing vintage 1940s Day Book Ledger shows the signs of aging to be expected from something this old that's still around. It was intended to be used in a Colorado restaurant in the 1950s but only saw one entry made: "No Postage Feb. 1956" (see 8th photo) before it was abandoned and stored away for 65 years.
    It measures 15" long X 6" wide X 1" thick.
    Printing at bottom of spine says: 66 LD  300.  Inside front of ledger, it is identified as Boorum & Pease Standard Blank Book No. 66. Cover is the standard greyish green with some age-related mottling.
    150 double-sided pages for a total of 300 blank pages ruled with the iconic red and blue lines for accounting entries.
