Dealer Notes
A truly unique item, this logbook was written and filled in by hand, lovingly crafted with songs, photos and descriptions of activities. Entitled "The Log of the Good Ship Eighty-One" and with the first entry dating from 1914, the book chronicles the doings of the Muswell Hill branch of the Boy Scouts in the early part of the 20th century.
