1962 Arcadian Nitrogen Farm Notebook Allied Chemical Advertising Agriculture For Sale

This is a vintage Arcadian Nitrogen pocket notebook issued by Allied Chemical, with original mid-century agricultural advertising throughout and handwritten entries inside.

The cover shows the classic Arcadian red flag logo with “Nitrogen,” and the interior includes printed fertilizer information (A-N-L, ammonium nitrate, urea 45, etc.) along with Allied Chemical Nitrogen Division locations. It’s a small, spiral-bound field notebook—exactly the kind of thing a farmer or worker would have carried daily.

What makes this one stand out is the handwritten content. There are multiple pages of notes including what looks like grocery lists, supply tracking, and basic accounting. One page is dated Aug. 3, 1962, which firmly places it in that early 1960s working context. You’ll see entries like bread, beans, meat, prices, and running totals—real everyday use, not just a blank promotional piece.

Condition is solid for what it is:

• Cover shows wear, scuffing, and age toning

• Binding is intact and holding all pages

• Pages have handwriting, light staining, and normal use wear

• No loose or missing sections that I can see

This is a great piece for:

• Farm / agricultural history collectors

• Advertising / branded ephemera collectors

• Paper / handwriting / social history collectors

• Anyone who appreciates real, used objects from everyday life

Not a pristine display piece—it’s a working notebook that actually got used, which is exactly where the charm is.
