We have the "What pen are you waiting on?" thread, why not one devoted to paper/journals/notebooks?
I'll start. I have been bitten by the vintage paper bug recently and that led to journals, diaries, notebooks and the like. I first bought a couple of pads of vintage airmail onion skin pads by Premier. If you received a letter from me recently, the paper may have been from these pads:

That lead me to looking for vintage journals. I found one that looks to be an insurance agents promotional item from 1960.
Just arrived. Promotional #vintage desk #journal from an insurance agency. Blank and unused. by IvanRomero, on Flickr
and the inside cover:

This is the latest to come in, and most interesting to me is a John Walker Back Loop Diary. The pencil sits in a sheath made into the spine of the book. This dates from 1932. The back cover has an insurance application for purchasers of the diary. Those that follow me on Instagram have probably already seen all these pictures.

Apparently John Walker also sold insurance. This application is glued to the inside back cover. #vintage #journal #diary #notebook by IvanRomero, on Flickr
