Tom Y Posted August 2, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Y Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 "Title page", actually, near the middle of the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted August 2, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Hi Tom, is it a full cross, or only one frame and the core?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Y Posted August 4, 2005 Author Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
