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.
