Vintage 1950\'s Union Pacific / Sun Valley Diary 12 month / Very Rare Comb Bound For Sale

This elaborate, comb-bound booklet was made for the Union Pacific Railroad suggesting it was given to Sun Valley Lodge guests, or maybe VIPs. Printed in February, 1954–too late for the railroad to give it to customers as Christmas gifts–the booklet includes calendars for 1954, 1955, and 1956 in the back. Diary pages list days of the month without specifying weekdays, so the book–which is more of an appointment calendar than a diary–could be used in any year.

Each month begins with a page briefly describing the type of activities that would take place in Sun Valley during that month, followed by a page with a full-color photo or photos. Four more pages provide room for eight days each with space for morning, afternoon, and evening entries. In addition to the three annual calendars, the last few pages provide room for “notes.”
