I googled this. I must have made a mistake

I didn't Google it but got in trouble this week. Went into the AAA office to change the title on the Jeep. They wouldn't take my check. Cash or Debit card she said. So I said Debit....she said step over here to my desk with your card and strip down facing me. How was I to know she meant the card. And she didn't have to call the police. Now I'm not allowed in there anymore
 
In Appalachia, Va, there was a dodge dealer that opened in 1926. Someone I know recently found this item from there. It’s the leather bound “The Dodge Brothers Works” dealer promotional book. It’s probably 14 by 18 inches. It has 50 B&W photos that show the manufacturing facility and it starts at the internal steelworks (foundry and mill) and goes through manufacturing with the cars being labeled for delivery. In between photos, there’s a parchment paper note describing each step of manufacture. We’re looking to approach the Dodge Brothers Museum because it’s a possibility this may be the last surviving copy of this book. It would be great to have on display in the center of a room and then large photo copies on the walls going from the beginning to the end of the process.

I don't know I even looked on Ebay it says rare not that I believe anything I have is valuable.

That's a heck of a find.
Should see if the library of congress has a record of it. Also your local library, or a college library, should access to the catalog of limited print books and pamphlets.

That's a cool book.
 
Can't be worth more than $.50 As Dave says. I have a whole plastic container of stamps. There is 12 unused ones that the value I saw was $48 each.
 
Later Gators! Have a Harbor cruise/dinner with wife today. So things to do till then...
 
Got it already. Perfect this time. Kind of a cute little bugger isn't it.
