Book description: Norwich, CT, 1927. Full-Leather. Very Good. The entries are in a small, neat hand, in blue ink, and are easy to read. Begins March 25, 1927: "Bought Marmon [automobile] - list $1,895 - 3% war tax, $56.85 - freight, $71 - extra tire & cover, $27.15 - total $2,050." Cardwell records 11 grease & oil changes during the year: mileages, gasoline, etc. "Bought Little Marmon No. 808895 from Mr. Beach, N. London, speedometer read 6...Arrive Norwich 27...Alice short ride 30...Bill Spalding short ride 50." The next 27 pages document where Mr. Cardwell drove, and with whom, including a trip to Plymouth and Cape Cod, &c., and finally reaching 8173 on the speedometer by the end of December. This is an excellent record of the costs incurred in buying and maintaining a car in the US in 1927. 4.5" x 2.5
