We were at the Dudson Family Collection in Wairarapa today looking at their vehicles when I noticed they had the following Packard scripted leather book. The had no Packards in their collection.
This is a leather holder containing map book page cards for the UK. The other side has a clear window to display the current map card you want to look at while driving. This prevented them from getting soiled or having to deal with a large, imposible to fold map. It was given away and marked imprinted by Leonard Williams & Co, which was the London Packard distributor.
Based on the address of the Map maker, it is circa 1933 to 1940.
I asked for a photo copy of the pages for the website and they were gracious enough to give me the entire book to keep. So once I get back, I'll get this scanned and added to the archive here.
