Tom Y Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 Another oddity that just arrived from Detlev. He called it a calendar, but I think a better name would be autograph book. Apparently it belonged to a 13 year old schoolboy (there are several entries dealing with his confirmation) The EK is a real one on a mini ribbon, not the gesso copy one normally sees. It's going to be good practice for my S?tterlin, as all the entries are in different hands from textbook to chicken scratch
Guest Rick Research Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 I nobly volunteer for the "textbook" ones!
Tom Y Posted August 2, 2005 Author Posted August 2, 2005 "Title page", actually, near the middle of the book.
Guest Rick Research Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 Good Lord! Cousin Richard Buchmann didn't dash THAT off freehand leaning against a school locker! That's HAND done, not a printed title.Show us more, slowpoke! Building "situational context" here.
Stogieman Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 Hi Tom, is it a full cross, or only one frame and the core??
Tom Y Posted August 4, 2005 Author Posted August 4, 2005 Hi Tom, is it a full cross, or only one frame and the core??←It's a full Cross. Iron core, silver frame, silver ring. Stitched onto the book through the eye. I was surprised when it arrived that it belonged to a kid. It was my impression that EK's weren't available to non-Tragers. Maybe from his father or older brother?
Guest Rick Research Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 We'll know better when we see some more pages!!!!!!!
Chris Boonzaier Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Tom must have a Detlev hotbutton... this and the virgins cross..... he be really fast for such an old guy !
