Out of Office This Week

Because of some personal stuff, I won't be post this week. Have no fear, I'll be back with some great stuff next week. Thanks for your patience.

1909-10 Auto-Brand Overalls Railroad Time Book

1909-1910 Railroad Time Book issued by Auto-Brand Overalls. Auto-Brand was produced by Lewis Meier and Company in Indianapolis, Indiana. A couple of interesting things about this time book are that each page has different text and the original owner was a woman, Mary Rapp. She used this book from 1910 to 1919.

1930-31 Headlight Overalls Railroad Time Book

Headlight Overalls Railroad Time Book issued by Headlight Overall Manufacturing Co./Larned, Carter & Co., Cincinnati, Ohio. I posted the book as being from 1930-31, but the calendar inside the book is for 1933-34. The original owner, Edwin Wickman, didn't use the book until 1936. If you look closely at the calendar, you'll notice it was glued over another calendar. I don't know if this modification was done by the publisher or Mr. Wickman. I went into Photoshop and was able to pull up the original calendar which was 1930-31. You can see this image below.

1915-16 Signal Overall and Shirt Railroad Time Book

1915-1916 Signal Overall and Shirt Railroad Time Book from theHilker-Wiechers Manufacturing Company in Racine, Wisconsin. This book features advertising in the back for the company's coat shirt.

1923-24 Finck's "Detroit Special" Pocket Memo Book

1918 Buck Brand Overalls Pocket Memo Book

1909 Miller Manufacturing Co., Hawk Brand Overalls Advertising Cover

1930-31 Crown Overalls Railroad Official Time Book

1930-31 Crown Overalls Railroad Official Time Book put out by The Crown Overall Manufacturing Company in Cincinnati, Ohio. While the calendar inside the book is for 1930-31, this book was used by the original owner from June 1935 to September 1935. I found the Help in Case of Accidents and Antidotes for Poison a very interesting read.
