Older than many things.
It’s not very big (that’s a mini-pencil beside it), but I didn’t want anything bulky. The edges of some pages are yellowing, and there’s arcane charts and tables of measurements relating to growing and caring for commercial crops, some minimalist advertising for fertilizer, and two calendars of the entire year of 1954.
If I knew what Brylcreem™ smelled like I would say a faint trace surrounds it.

I used to have this old ledger of my grandfather’s that he used while working at this old oil company down in Houston. Not as small as the one you have, but it was kind of neat to look through as a kid.
Is he still alive? Reading someone else’s handwriting is the closest thing to time-travel was have right now…if the writer has passed on it would make it too poignant for words (heh…sorry).
