I only found this blog as the wallet is looking a bit shabby and needs replacing.

Have been using it ever since with Day-Timer refills. Only difference from the red one pictured here is that the ten card slots are on the inside back cover and the two pockets on the inside front. Still has traces of the original leather aroma...or maybe that's just my imagination.

He has so much to do, and isn't compensated a penny, so when freebies roll in our community, I'm glad it's him.<br />Besides, now he'll be able to have a slimline to do size comparisons in the future. It's a win win to me--yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!<br /Jane O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09097103842673140462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-40028470896168105212014-06-05T17:50:36.905-04:002014-06-05T17:50:36.905-04:00What a lovely find.

I don't think they make leather planners anymore. Mine has no filler or cardboard. The leather looks and feels great. I guess people did not buy enough of these planners for the company to continue to sell them. I have not seen a slim binder with 17 mm rings. That would be roomy.Behttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10482495677635690573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-13095338372884774482014-06-04T14:34:57.027-04:002014-06-04T14:34:57.027-04:00UK petrol hasn't been 22p per litre since the ...UK petrol hasn't been 22p per litre since the late 1970's. I remember filling up my first car - a Morris Marina 1.3SDL in early 1977 at 69.5p per UK gallon.

Thank you so much for sending this to Steve. Maybe he can use it as his appointment book/guide book on meeting with the key manufacturers of our community!<br />JaneJane O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09097103842673140462noreply@blogger.com
