Matt_Weeks2947 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I picked this intriguing piece of automotive history up at an antique show today. It is a genuine leather 3-ring binder branded with Oldsmobile. It appears to be from the late 1910s or 1920s, although I am not sure. My guess is that it was used by salesmen in an Olds dealership to showcase models and options. If anybody has more information about these I'd love to learn more about it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Great item! Most likely held dealer information about the models and options for a particular year of Oldsmobile. I had a similar item for Dodge trucks and like yours it was missing the insides. I think yours might be later than the dates you list because I don’t think three ring binders were available in that time frame. Hopefully some Olds experts will know more about the item. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Older than you think. The Patent for 2 and 3 ring binders was filed in 1854. Terry 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieOlds Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 That binder is from a 1926-27 Oldsmobile Dealer Showroom Album. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
