Log Book #2 -
List of Carvings and Hours Used to Complete Carvings 1935 |
The entries in
this small ( 3" x 5 1/4") Log Book #2 of Pauline Miller Cowan record the many pieces of work she
completed while employed by the Tryon Toy Makers and Carvers for the year
1935, since February 25th 1935. She enters
the specific name of the carving and generally records the hours she spent
completing the work and the date of completion. She signals the end of the
project by the use of the word "Fini" after she had fully executed the
project.
This log book contains 40 pages and each page,
including blank pages, are recorded in this list, though blank pages are
not scanned. Unique sequential
numbers are given to each scanned page (37 total). The scanned image number does not
necessarily correspond to the page number in Log Book # 2 but represents a
unique identifying number for the scanned image and may be used to
retrieve the image.
