1859 Leather Covered Notebook, Largely Blank But with Excellent American Flag Diagram monkey in bottle and wonderfully inventive I thinkI found this lovely black leather covered notebook along with the other leather wallet notebook just listed together at an antique shop in New Hampshire, and might guess they are somehow connected, but I don't know. This one was kept by a Robert White of Shelburn, Vermont, and while he left most of it empty for someone to fill now I love what is in it, including this diagram of The American Flag, with specifications! I also love that on the first page
