Excellent Civil War soldier’s pocket-sized calendar that consists of eight small pages of natural ivory, all hinged at one end with a single rivet. In great condition, this diary has its small, thin ivory pages pivoted together that measure 2 ¼” high x 1 ¼” wide each. The pages are stamped at the top edge with a different day of the week from Monday through Saturday, Sunday is left out because it’s considered a day of rest. The inner pages are protected with a thicker ivory outer page cover at front and back. Outer cover has a silver shield device pinned to the exterior surface with “MARY” inscribed on the front.  A silver clasp and hinged hook pinned at the upper edge of the diary hold the mini booklet together. Daily entries were made upon the appropriate flat hard slabs of ivory, usually with a lead pencil.  There are very faint entries on each sheet that are illegible and faded due to age.  [MK] [PH:L]
